Saturday Poem

Stations

  1.
listen
i've
been
   alcohol
free
27 Years
now

&
  i'm
lonely

& don't
know how
to not be

in love
with
my one
original
sin

  2.
on  blue
lips of winter

a whisper
of smoke

   3.
listen
i can't pray
by the ocean
anymore
it's
too
sacred

& these
       carved
stations
are like islands
& i'm split
wood

  4.
  between
passions

 black
sand
on
 rugged
shoes

  5.
even the
    bitterest
road
is someone's
beginning

   how it's
so
bone deep

to fall down
& try
