hospitable

the land that
produced peanuts
magnolias
and
bob

who married
betty
after
a short hospital
stay

i wanted to
play woody
songs
ride a train
and bleed
so i could
bleed again

goodbye
to
however it was
maybe
we didn’t know
then
like
we know now

rub
the tired out
of
your eyes
embrace
motel life
fires
and the grave yard

see the moment

it was
in the hospital
betty and bob
the promise
that is always
kept
