walkin the west-side

there is a gem walking the West-side
if you see him, would you send him home b/c
alcohol
does not taste as sweet to him anymore
I know it
and the old skin does not fit as well
constricting, tight
once
removed

He's been trying to buckle himself back in since last night
I can see him in that smoke-filled room, Jules is lying on the couch, parts of her hair misplaced, face discolored and they are all congratulating him on coming home

but a piece of gold can no longer be dirt
so tell him the waters on, the waters on

there is a gem walking the West-side

and if you see him can you send him home?


"God is my Helper
He is the sustainer of my soul."
Ps 54:4
