Against the white barracks that aren’t quite gray
Stands the image tribute to future me
Of black and green and brown he fades away
Behind the drizzly rain still as a tree
Gravel clinking against the metal frame
As tires rip them off towards the silhouette
The clouds across the sky all look the same
No breaks or pores of thickness will it let
The eldest turns his head without a word
Mourning to his right too easily heard
As the decibels increase past absurd
The music becomes all the eldest heard
Amid the mess he watches with the song
The turn signal was clicking all along
First attempt at a sonnet from a while ago. No love here really as my family waved goodbye to my father.
Thomas Lundberg Jan 2013
The night was
Our curtain

As I moved for
The kiss

With the rain as
Our walls

And the thunder
Our passion

                                                        ­                   The instant then passed by
                                                              ­                  Like the lightning so
                                                              ­                             Mute

                                                           ­              And the storm must carry on
                                                              ­                  But for now it bears
                                                           ­                                  fruit
I wrote this over two years after the event occurred. I picture a much different girl and different setting now.
