Poetry For Everyday People

It's always
a good day
when you can
buy wine and
flowers,
even though
everything you
own, is in one box,
one pillow case,
long gone,
you've slept on
sofa's, floors,
car seats, benches,
you haven't slept in
a long time,
then you walk into
the unknown bar,
dice throwing,
needing, she
smiles, you sit, drink
quietly with anything
eyes, you drink together,
she looks at you as
angels at the falling,
you can stay with me
for a few days,
your hardness feels
a chance, a pillow,
a girl with a good
heart,
she drives, you listen,
you walk into her place,
she grabs a bottle of wine,
no glasses, she pulls out
good smoke, Say's she'll
be right back,
you take your shoes off,
sit down for the first
time in a long time, take
a sip, light a candle,
she comes back in black
pajama bottoms, black shirt,
bare foot with blue nail polish,
and she just sits next to you
you hand her the bottle she takes
a taste passes it back to you, leans
on you, you lean on her, her feet
rest on the hard coffee table,
good friends, damn good
friends
of circumstance.
