The Runt of the Litter

Blood is thicker than wine.
I suppose… But not mine.
Red weak and thin.
Enough to bleed from scratched skin.
Could lose a few pints and be fine.
Better the white line and dry wine.
Thinning every day.
Losing the will to stay.
Passing straight through the heart.
Fast and careless like a dart.
My drained eyes will never be the same.
What a shame… What a shame…



Poem By Sanjeev 'Cimeries' Retnasingam
