Fragments of Life #1

Bathtub Hooch Saves Relationships

   The burning bite of moonshine, 

   keeps smiles plastered in straight lines 

   and the half faced lies 

   tumble out, I’m fine--we’re fine.

   Into the moss riddled fields,

   under shade of lightening

   burnt oaks, your hands

   pulled me. 

The Last Thing He Said To Me

   I can only bare to kiss you, behind 

   shuttered windows 

   and closed eyes--
