Strawberries in Heaven



Whiskey-warm and ragged,
I stumble on the ground.
The shovel in the hard-packed earth
makes such a lonesome sound,

like nails fighting for purchase
on the jagged edge of a cliff.
Life is like a man with a
tiger on his back
who is finally starting to slip
and I pray
the strawberries in Heaven
are sweet.
