I read the bible more often now
since I met God down at the roadhouse
unless it got pulled off the bottle
when Lalo was stocking the tub
down on the Modelo end of heaven

then I just recite the verses quietly
from memory that recognizes opportunity
based on the perfume of this bordello
and the sound of gold colored metal
decorating tattooed ladylike, sleeveless

jag lady calls me Padre and shows her sins
when she leans over to pray for fire
from my gifted Lotus, says butane is best
and who am I talking to there, in my mind
seems I am listening more than I speak

they must be special to have my attention
or they are talking dirty, she laughs
and says she knows everything dirty
in Spanish, and English and even Latin
and would I like to hear most of it

If she promises not to say another word


sighs are mostly love songs

Wow, Dark,
Been so long I had forgotten what a master of innuendo you are. It has all come back to me now. This is so you, doing what only you do.

This poem is one I wish I had written, Masterful it is.
