My Life Is A Simple Cross by Eddie Awusi

My life is a simple cross,
In a hug of despair.
I am the first waiter of duress –
Bartender in untender bar.
I come, mining into bliss-
A graffiti artist, a blackjack dealer, a stray dog,
In beauty entranced nights.
I am your one last story,
You can always have as much as you have,
Sprained emotions.
