+Title: Sonnet 1

+Topic: Shameless Need

+Special Notes: Rhythmically-challenged sonnet


As my love that sets the chops of night waves
to the simple, shades of gray, there will be
no pretensions, no redundant, stormy
wishes; only leafy, deadened-Fall craves.

No one needs that foolish gallantry: save
your horse, your deeds, your feats, things I rarely
ever receive. I shall supplicate (me,
lowly, wanton, feisty me), always rave

astonishedly that Zen has come to court
so shy and lonesome a maelstrom fiend, that
demure malfunctions designed like me are

needed, small ferocities. I exhort
the smallest insecurities, yet at
the freedom of you, I rest in the dark.
