cheers bitches

Tonight I want to drink until my pen is wet.

Until the moments unfurl...float away into the mist of ink and fire.

Tonight I drink to remember and forget.

Tonight I drink to new loves and old flames.

Torn out clippings from newspapers long since yellowed and crushed.

Tonight I drink to the roads that rise up to meet us.

The thirst on a summer's day in a pasture twenty years back

To the white fences. To the field hands.

To the bitches in my past.

To cool autumn days and mint julips on the porch.

Tonight I drink to wet my pen

To pay tribute to those that inspire

Encourage and to those who dismantle a soul with a smile and a

Bless your heart.

Tonight I drink for you
