My uncle’s voice bellows in the dead of the night,
He staggers home singing his favorite 1990s hit,
‘Jump’ by Kriss Kross is his favorite Song.
The dogs howl as if singing along.
He knocks on the door then pushes it in,
He looks at our startled faces and wonders why we’re so quiet.
He tries to lighten the mood by jumping,
He falls on his ass and everyone laughs.
My uncle lacks four of his front teeth.
His smile is the warmest and funniest i have ever seen.
I ask him how he lost his teeth.
He deliberately grins to reveal the entire gap.
