Walking Home

some people fail to watch where they are going

Walking Home

missteps in the porcupine patch

ouches reaching beyond the capacity of speech

he walked silent, barefoot, the day kicking butt,

several miles of dust, one last cigarette 

and that bottle of bourbon whiskey at home

ready to hit him hard in the head.

I remember waking in my car from a night filled with booze. The battery dead, no gas, a long walk. Thanks for your visit!

in life there are those patches, we need to watch where we are walking in life...such truisms here.

a misstep and we are gone.
