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.
