Briar Thomas Williams

“Pulled off the highway in Missouri,

And lo, our hearts were heavy laden.
Made for the chapel with some spraypaint
For all the things we'd held in secret.


Lord, lift up these lifeless bones,
Light cascading through the windows.
All the rainbow's heavy tones.


He has fixed his sign in the sky.
He has raised me from the pit and set me high.


Left that place in ruin,<br Drunk on the spirit and high on fumes.
Checked into a Red Roof Inn,

Stayed up for several hours and then slept like infants.”
