Poetry For Everyday People

Pass The Salt

If I can live
inside my one a.m.
life,

that sweet easy
understanding,
that perfect laugh,
that conquering
of what seems
impossible

neon
religion
soft without
guilt,

longing is my favorite
word tonight

means
all your feels
are still working,
your ambition,
passion
lingering
needing
pure
beyond
the confinement
of taught,

simplicity
dripping over
like hot gravy
in need of a biscuit.
