Fight or Flight

A Year of Sonnets — 023/365

Trust not your hands
love not your heart
count not the sand
breaking apart
two lonely lights
so bitter chill
that cannot fight
divine what’s real
believe the voice
your brain creates
or make a choice
deliberate
just tread the wave
until you’re saved.

Playing around with an idea for a “skinny sonnet” form. Not sure if I like it, but I wanted to check out the effect.
