More practice for therapeutic reasons. Poetry in motion. Trying to purge these painful feelings. Remembering Jimbo Pete and others who suffered or are suffering personally or peripherally from the grip of addiction.
He commented on the postcard
“My screensaver”
Memories of a better time
I thought
This is what it’s like to meet a movie star
Or someone famous
Notorious really
But in a good way
The BEST way
In a beautifully sad way
The lines on his face
The tired bloodshot eyes
The simple gold band
A survivor of loss
Whose pain was displayed
For the greater good
But for the Grace of God there go I
