Amazing Grace and Tequila
My skin is simple
a wrap for my bones recalibrating my existence one word at a time
I live under a roof of memories under a sky of thoughts augmented by the growling truth: life is anguish and elation in a ragged bundle handed up to your mother on a sun burnt day
promises pulled from the dirt
weeds and daisies God and thorns a package of hope and death
bedraggled roots and brilliant blooms one end to the other extreme fitting the day like an old shoe and a needed friend, like amazing grace and tequila burning your mind and wetting your tongue
