Stations
.. 1.
Listen
I’ve
been
.. alcohol
free
27 years
now
&
.. I’m
lonely
& don’t
know how
to not be
in love
with
my one
original
sin
.. 2.
on blue
lips of winter
a whisper
of smoke
.. 3.
listen
I can’t pray
by the ocean
anymore
it’s
too sacred
& these
.. carved
stations
are like islands
& I’m split
wood
.… 4.
.. between
passions
.. black
sand
on
.. rugged
shoes
.. 5.
even the
.. bitterest
road
is someone’s
beginning
.. how it’s
so
bone deep
to fall down
& try
