Another attempt at a sonnet.

Run down to the liquor store, buy me a date,

It’s sordid: you’re late for the third time this year.

    Dear, horizons drip rainclouds amiss,

-

    The forecast is ignorant bliss.

-

Thoughts through a fog, dying star’s heavy light,

A sun of a son of uncertainty.

    Free, my mind as proof of my claim,

-

    Such thoughts quench with hot drops of flame.

-

Loose dogs of war, behind thick walls of glass,

Mute fangs, though caged, smell the pulse in my throat.

    Quote, the darkest of all human fears,

-

    That blood thirst fall soft on the ears.

-

Gulp down the dream, swallow the sight;

Don’t, wake, up, until-the-next-night.
