Wino

I feel beautiful
when alone
There is no pageantry
All is bare, hipped with swing
sing song
and smokey
No allure, but my own
nothing to counteract
my attention span, nor draw me
way into the rub of grace
I just fall face first, into a papery mood
and spell out the bottles of liqueur
My blackberry voice of choice

All the sane of me lapses, for one instance
of belonging, as a lily gone wild for a day

Using up all the magic, for one insect of thought
just to change scent
and blend in

to become a dragonfly
on chapel walls
and watch them all snake
like creeks through Eden

to be a useless heathen
unconverted, uneducated and sexed up
waitin� for rain on a rock
slavin� out body secrets
with a southern lullaby

No mystery, just twisted scenes

a deliberate wino of tranquility
