speak slowly when you question
will winter remember
our visions of a drunk sea
beneath a thousand clouds
pregnant with despair?
will you remember come morning
our dream of a white horse
dancing headless through the rye?
speak softly when you answer,
stuttering into sleep.

I found this going through a box tonight. I don't remember writing it, and I have no idea when it's from. Slightly edited.

I love the first quatrain. It's teeming with tension, contrasting the drunken dangerous sea with the pregnant sky. I admit, it puts me on edge (and I like it).
I am intrigued by the second quatrain, but a little confused regarding the meaning. Could you elaborate on the metaphor?
That aside, very solid poem. Good job!

I don't remember writing the poem specifically, but I seem to remember the idea behind it being some sort of descent into madness, characterized—as the title suggests—through inebriation.
Maybe.
Isn't poetry great?

"He who laughs last has not yet heard the bad news." - Bertolt Brecht
The trouble with poetry is that anyone with a pen thinks he can write it, just like anyone with a digital camera thinks he can take photography. If we'd just leave it to the people who knew what the hell they were doing, we might have a little more respect for the mediums.
