Flesh picinic

A naked sonnett

By Irma



Liquid courage fogged decision making

Last night's lines successfully picked you up

I always get away with faking

Dirty minds drink from my Dixie cup.



Human musk fills the bedroom air

Roll over, count the used protection

Kiss good-bye, eyes absent of care

Never again will we make that connection.



Conscious of a rap-tap upon the door

Toxins twist, swirl inside your head

Last night's adventure, next to a chore

Motivation lacking to exit bed



The flesh picnic carried away

By ants of sweet decay

Irma,

I love your last line. This is a honest & fun piece & we have all been to such picnics. I do get a little confused about "Last night's adventure, next to a chore" and am left wondering about the "rap-tap upon the door." Is the "chore" with the person at the door or "last night's adventure"? I love the line about counting protection and feel the sonnet form adds to the fun loving tone. Thanks for sharing.

~M.D.
