Between Three Sheets

We're better off in hiding.

Three sheets of lightning tucked away

In linen closets

Of what we had to say.



          Bursts of light

          Perfectly timed

          To render discerning eyes

In a tight grip

And let it drip

Through knuckled fists

          A dynasty of contrast

          From scratch

          So long as you last.



Three sheets of thunder

Folded up

And tucked under a bed.

Cacophonic booms loaded up

To be later unleashed

In scorn for what he bled...
