The Sisters Brothers - Patrick DeWitt (2011)

I read this book some time ago
And was glad to read again
The first person views
Of gruesome tales
From a tough guy

With alcohol and jealousy
Our friend’s moral rift
Is fuelled

His questioning in vain
The domineering Sisters
Bleeding every vein

Will he find his peace?
Or will the choices of his life
Send him to the Beast?
