‘come drunk’

‘tell him to come drunk‘,
a generous AA leader encouraged a
friend calling on behalf of another friend.

‘come drunk.’

come in the throws of idolatry,
come knee-deep in the muck + trouble
of my own selfishness + sin,
come to the
One Who Rescues Me,
without trying to clean myself up first.

‘if you tarry
’till you’re better,
you will never
come at all.’

come drunk, as it were.
