My Friend

 

She smoked cigarette butts she found on the ground

Kept company with a three legged hound

Had an old sewing machine in her car\'s back seat

Tied faded ribbons around the toes of her feet

Her hair long and grey was tangled in a knot

Cooked all her food in one rusty pot

Her smile was a stained picket fence

Burnt coffee grounds in place of incense

Told the weather by the ants, talked to the plants

Grinned as she sang with the wind, naked in the rain danced

I think her name was Kris but I just called her sis

Drank her beer warm as piss, gave me my first French kiss
