Tiptree

Beautiful voice this
Unfettered ascending soul
Seven months sober

Congrats!

zerothehero

today i'm grateful
for the good vibes y'all send to
me and each other

Tiptree

Inflated the tires
Now it's just a matter of
Resolving to go

Tiptree

Messed up my haiku
Six instead of five, I must
Be more attentive

gleefan

Zero,
Congrats on seven months!

Lens of suffering
Makes way in sobriety
For peace and healing.

Gilmer

Need a shot of love
Looking in the wrong places
Only one true source

I will scope and scope--
Damned if I will go to bed!
Frickin' give it up!

Tiptree

Rode my bike today
Muscles on fire, short on breath
Drinking made me soft

Shot of Love - Bob Dylan

I need a shot of love
I need a shot of love

Don't need a shot of heroin to kill my disease
Don't need a shot of turpentine, only bring me to my knees
Don't need a shot of codeine to help me to repent
Don't need a shot of whiskey, help me be president

I need a shot of love
I need a shot of love

Doctor, can you hear me? I need some Medicaid
I seen the kingdoms of the world and it's makin' me feel afraid
What I got ain't painful, it's just bound to kill me dead
Like the men that followed Jesus when they put a price upon His head

I need a shot of love
I need a shot of love

I don't need no alibi when I'm spending time with you
I've heard all of them rumors and you have heard 'em too
Don't show me no picture show or give me no book to read
It don't satisfy the hurt inside nor the habit that it feeds

I need a shot of love
I need a shot of love

Why would I want to take your life?
You've only murdered my father, raped his wife
Tattooed my babies with a poison pen
Mocked my God, humiliated my friends

I need a shot of love
I need a shot of love

Don't wanna be with nobody tonight
Veronica not here, Mavis just ain't right
There's a man that hates me and he's swift, smooth and near
Am I supposed to set back and wait until he's here?

I need a shot of love
I need a shot of love

What makes the wind wanna blow tonight?
Don't even feel like crossing the street and my car ain't actin' right
Called home, everybody seemed to have moved away
My conscience is beginning to bother me today

I need a shot of love
I need a shot of love

I need a shot of love
I need a shot of love
I need a shot of love
I need a shot of love

If you're a doctor
I need a shot of love

Elseware

I saw the hangman
He's waiting at the crossroads
Needs a shot of love

Elseware

I'm okay today
Must be Honey Badger love
He don't give a ****

zerothehero

Elseware's a bad ass
she's a tough little critter
but she ain't nasty

zerothehero

rain drips from leaking
gutters where birds nest until
cold inundation

zerothehero

two songbirds perched on
a thin limb frantic about
the loss of their home

zerothehero

at work yesterday
i was the gutter dweller
forcibly displaced

zerothehero

lost the position
to someone less qualified
bald nepotism

zerothehero

did i want the job
not really but i want change
inner and outer

zerothehero

should i just not want -
surrender ambition, hope,
and meaningful work -

zerothehero

i'm getting younger
and i'm not too old to dream
but i keep waking

zerothehero

my sleeping dreams seem
more realistic than my
waking dreams these days

zerothehero

but today is good
it is cool and the rain heals
my dusty dry lungs
