Brandon George Poet Free verse

A Bridge Home

Pain reveals us
	unbound to “normal” life
		tw-
			i-
           sted 
	upon shelves
		filled with feature-
	less portraits of lies	
		told
	at the super-
		market behind the barber-
	shop’n for smiles
		‘n a stained t-
	shirt
		worn to church
	service held 
		for our memories
	baptized
in muddy waters

Reliving the revelry
	played out like promises 
		swallowed 
	choking up – on pieces
		of us drowning
	under the bridge
		I slept near
last night.
