Shoebox and Beam




A duct taped shoebox of photographs
and a flask full of Jim Beam,
past is past
there’s no looking back
or so it so often seems.

I made peace with the morning
but continue to worship the night.
The high alter of your idolatry 
Crumbled more and more 
provoked by the light.

I don’t miss you anymore.

I gave you up drinking bourbon 
I gave up the ghost on razor blades
You’re not as special as you’ve come to think.
It’s a summer rain,
the fade of your face.

Everything follows you full circle round
and devil dealing's the only sound.
