God is that you waiting in the middle of all my loved ones? Thanks for the gathering but why did I have to spend that past life unseeing whatever I saw? I’m afraid I’m upset You didn’t explain that hell of a process breaking me down when I didn’t know which way was up. Okay [...]

I WANNA GO HOME I wanna go home… sweet Texas hot on my lips, horny toads shooting blood through their eyes, dust rising behind my old truck spinning down dirt roads, my Yellow Rose waiting on the front porch, her dress unbuttoned… thunderstorm bathing in the backyard. ________________________ HALF DRUNK The months go by like [...]
