Stand In Shit Poem by Uriah Hamilton

Stand In Shit

Rating: 5.0


Beaujolais in paper cups
Beside an alley dumpster
Beneath a praying streetlight—
Holding hands in a grimy city,
Midnight still feels romantic
In the flowerless void;
I always expected
I’d stand in shit
But still write about love

This is one of your best, Uriah. Not full of self pity, only cooly stating your own truth. Fine work. Raynette
