Sonnet #4

By Tobias H. Reese.



When a woman desires, she takes nothing for granted;

the aspirations of an oldest child,

bipolar disorders,

numbness that crawls into the arms

clinging to unconditional love while the means to a solution

 lie

 two paychecks in the future- a future that no one can honestly have faith in-

Medicaid lies.


Dreams weigh the difference between hardships.


Truth and denial speak to the Ghost

of a little girl who isn’t ready for this...

Whom was never ready for this.


Yet our clock chuckles

while mania throws out harsh arguments

of time's casualties.

Author's Note

Tobias H. Reese
An attempt - unformatted- in the modern "wrap around" sonnet style.

This piece was rebranded as "Undead Earth", a shortfilm production featuring Russ Walton, Myself, Alexandra T. Rieloff and CVP studios.

I write in the land of metaphor, a world of symbolism and unrestrained abstraction governed by a hypothetical thought process and rhetorical sense of understanding.
If ever you feel the need to remark to me "I know how you feel" or something of that nature, please refrain as you aren't understanding the nature of what I've written at all.
It should never be assumed my art is personal.
