Sonnet #1: Black Dog
Because the feeling drifts through outer space,
Today you bring me here, among the tree,
Anachronistic and old in my face,
Amidst the fields, beauteous chaos, for tea.
So I wake up to the sound of music,
To landscapes and dreams of imperfection;
Diseased with ice and flame, she waits to trick
Fools of innocence, and time, direction.
Says she: “Denied of bloom, and roots, and bees,
I face my dry future, completely free.
So walking towards our star together frees.
And brethren spring from suns unseen, the key.
So tethered foes befriend in the end:
For better or for worse, I’m man’s best friend.”
