clenching words in her fist
by Ava Blushe's walking on water again
thinking today God will strike
she's never owned any luck
so it's no wonder karma's not on her side
dwelling on religion,
reading the bible every day
she wants to succumb
to whomever keeps listening
lust on the left
hope on the right
each hand dealt differently
yet never quite what she wants
walking on water again,
she waits to drown
surely some day all these answers
will finally bring her down.
