::: Peaches :::

why are wrists so sweet?
they distract me
like peaches
I wish to bite them
tear the flesh from bone
and should I
is it a sin?
who would blame me for my greed?
it is my blood to spill

::: Staying Clean :::

there was that man
who smelled of strawberry
on the bus
it seemed significant
especially considering how odd it is
for a man to smell of strawberry
especially in January
that was just before
finding out
she had relapsed into alcoholism
again
it answered so many questions
but also left me scared
how could I help?
with two alcoholics in my life
and my own battle
to stay clean
