Hot-Sauced Words

Hot-Sauced Words

by Max Baru

............................................................

Have not shattered the shell yet.
Everything we put inside us dies
but words dipped in hot-sauce, never.
Today another slice of victory,
losing my Virginity, to strangers words:
of nostalgia for an illness,
of drumming for men in stone,
of igniting horse shit.
So newbie’s and oldie’s and bumble-bees
remember,
all you put inside you dies,
but words dipped in hot-sauce, never.

This poem was written and read by by Max at his first ever poetry performance. I liked this poem so much I bought it from him to put on the web site.
