SEMI-SONNET

WOMAN
Surreal conundrum
Nectar like vinegar
Potion for Romeo-a thoughtless
sip in Juliet
sip in Juliet
Fussy labyrinth
Chestnut like humdrum
Tainted elixir
An itch to prick and
a phony pet
a phony pet
Aged like the Civil
War in Corinth
War in Corinth
Louder than the
whisper in a hum
whisper in a hum
Burdening block on a
drained shoulder
drained shoulder
A seizure to come but
a headache yet
a headache yet
A distortion not
ready for synth.
ready for synth.
Some believe me…
Belonging to a race only within me.
