Saints and Sinners
Española, NM
An angel and a devil lean over the roofline,
not carved, sometimes lit—
always sensed,
like a shift in the air
when you step across the threshold.
The liquor store sits still under humming lights.
Bottles line up,
clear, brown, green,
each holding silence,
each watched but untouched
a second too long.
Next door, the bar breathes low and steady.
Voices stay near the table,
words softened by time,
by habit.
The bartender moves like someone
who’s seen everything twice—
once in daylight,
once at closing.
A man in coveralls counts out quarters.
Another stares at the wall
as if waiting for it to move.
Someone laughs,
no one looks up.
There’s no music here,
just the scrape of a stool,
the clink of glass,
the soft thud of a bottle set down
like a truth no one wants to say.
The angel waits by the exit.
The devil leans in near the taps.
They’re not fighting.
Just watching.

This place is one of my favorites. Kenny and Lucas are amazing proprietors and their selection of alcohol and merchadise is fabulous. I love it best when there is a cool crowd at the table. Til next time my friends! Xoxox Lola Brown
