Just Another Saturday Night
Apr 2, 2022
cut your eyeteeth on nerves
then surrender
sometimes, it is all you can do
bend over, let it wash over your back,
your hair
let the wind push you where you need to go.
give yourself an out.
don’t you need one about now?
don’t we all~~
I want to tell you that we will be ok
but I am not sure of the truth
so I choke back those words, wait
until more honest ones come to the surface
brackish water can still tell the truth
even when it is difficult
