Clutch your guitar
as though to salvation.
Your wine and reed voice
pulls apart syllables,
arching the ache
and breaking the rhythm.
Clutch your guitar
as though to a centrifuge.

Seen you off-stage,
sudden and quiet.
Wandering ghosts
heed through your eyes.
Hitch to the bar
and drink yourself stuporless.
All the best chemicals
itching to write.

Roll into bed
with a new doll of clay.
She has her own mind,
and your forgiveness.
Bravely, you think,
you offer it up.
She never asked
for you to talk back.

Clutch your guitar
as though to simplicity.
Play your sad songs
with joy and sweet verve.
When the time comes,
know the low E will break.
See how they wait,
you've wanted to say.
