Ambergris
Whale shit smells great despite being shit.
When people who are shit go away, that’s some
shit trying to tell you you are the shit.
Sitting in self pity is like a blind man bathing in
warm diarrhea. Feels good. But it stinks.
I want the scent of oil dripping over my head,
I want miracles and blessings.
Best be the ultimate shit. The winning streak.
The stain. Indelible and unforgettable at parties.
To most, recovery and redemption are akin to
polishing a turd until it shines — never apologize.

And that’s the shit! This straightforward approach really work in this. I like the statement in the middle. “I want miracles and blessings.”
Lol….qhat she said !
And loved the title and the jump out of the gate.
Accessible and honest.
Penned well.
I love the movement in and between each couplet. The title holds so much as well and “Indelible and unforgettable at parties” has a phrasing I can hear you read!
Agree, this is the shit. Cuts through it, gets to the heart of it. And I like the command at the end.
Brilliant title! So many surprises in this piece (I’m not gonna’ say it)…
