Written for: The Sunday Muse #124 (posted by Carrie)
Don't know how I got up
here. The den was partying,
celebrating the birth
of a new cub. I am not
much of a drinker, dulls
my senses. I remember
ordering one glass
of blood wine, and then . . .
nothing. Someone slipped
something menacing
into my drink. My mane
is dripping with sweat,
and I have a roar of
a headache. The joker
had better own up
to his deed. I need
to get off this tree.

This is one of a defferent breed for you, Sara. I like it but it is so very graphic of a dilema that most of us don’t want to talk about.
I ONCE was up your tree, mabe twice. Once I got down by driving with my head out the car window so I could follow the white line driving home. The other I was rescued by my girlfriend and her brother and another one or two putting me in the shower, cold. I was probably 20 years old. Never again.

Bwahahahaha! I just adore this. In one poem, you’ve made think of Klingon wine, took me to the jungle, and reminded me that alcohol can leave even the best of us in a foolish spot. 😀
