Part IV · Memory

Dive

i was at the only bar i knew you could smoke inside. with my guitar in the booth, rehearsing my lines. terrified & excited. i would finally get to be on stage at my favorite old dive bar, & no one would remember my name. so i sang & drank way too much. & woke up with a tattoo over my heart. the lyrics of a song made my own. “i ain't afraid of dying, cold & alone.”
