divine disarray

The mess, its substance
For a weary soul
Lightning, like moonbeams
That led the way
Feasting
my body found nourishment
From meager hay
Rotten juices upon eager lips
blood on sidewalks
and tangled hair
Lingering fragrance wrapped in dirty sheets
Tainted messages delivered in empty streets
pain and embarrassment
all our mistakes
Most say the mess is just disgrace
To me, mess is company
Its bounty, my feast.
