Lines for a New Year by Sam Hunt


I like the branch
I find myself on

a view over the garden
all the way down to the beach

the family below me
gathered in the garden

debating where I�ve gone.
My father�s got a theory.

I like the branch
I find myself on.

You know how it is

to give up the piss
a week to the

day before Christmas

you know how it is

to fall over sober
safe in some spot,

come to later
