the whores,
oh yeah the whores,
I love them, I think
I love them all
with eating disorders and abandonment issues
with the runs in their stockings
handbags full of things that I don't need to make sense of
like the way I like the way the other pillow smells
after SHE leaves
and I don't need no woman to tell me how bad I've gotten either
but how loud can a rusty bell be?
in a merlot stained anhedonia party dress
and weaponized four inch heels
trying to scare all those bad things under the bed back away
and wash off all of her own monster make up with a good cry

And who doesn't. They listen to where you've been because they have been there too. The love is fleeting but its more honest than some 'normal' relationship.:) Good read John. Enjoyed that.

I feel the current from downtown whenever I roll through, a palpable force. You're tapped into something sooo ancient that people called it "base" before they even knew why. Without redeeming the grime your work honors the gutter. I always appreciated that. It's a fine line.

Is what I mean. Good work, brother-from-another-gutter.
