Sonnet

"Since there is no help      Come let us kiss and part"                      - Michael Drayton Michael staring, gasping, gnawing life Through gray lids on rat-hot eyes, Scavenges sixteenth century Chelsea way Condemning the hellish space he breathes. Thin brittle legs like dying twigs Wrapped in army woolens Prance steps as light as summer dew And flit like flies on summer dung. A deathly deep, purple-pocked skin, Bruised like chilled damp autumn Pales and snakes through evening fog, Exhausts and gags a bared rigid throat- The precious affair is over And the love's fetish manuscript Has been misplaced, abandoned.
