Unlucky
"You make your own
luck,"
they say.
Tell that to the woman,
ravaged by hard years,
and hard men, and next to
her cigarettes, a stick of
beef jerky broken into
bite-size bits spread out
on a bar napkin, squeezing
the lime from her Corona
on each rough-torn hunk,
then a shake of
stale black pepper
from a
tiny paper packet,
tell her that when
she says that's her dinner,
and the shot glass of
maraschino
cherries
"dessert."

This Street Feels like Redemption
for ray swaney
the morning comes to you
like a lover
offering no apologies
for its scars
the wind is strange fruit here
the sun beating down
is a crucifixion
not unlike the end
of the world
just a few blocks away
huddled in the rain.

Show Me an Option
Two kids
and a wife
who need
the money
brought in
by illicit
sales
of false hope.
He wants
to quit,
knows
his habit
is slow death.
But who can go
to rehab
for sixty days
when there’s
bills to pay
and three mouths
to feed?
It’s not about
getting high,
it’s about
responsibilities.
