sinner

love stings

a bloody alcoholic with tragedies in his knuckles and ashes in his veins
bleeding lungs inhaling smoke like air and exhaling scribbled art like salvation
shoulder blades that mimic angel wings and skylines and mountain ridges
crooked halo and filthy hands clutching dead roses dripping clumsy apologies
i choke out coughs from his cigarette smoke and it burns like hard vodka at 4am
