Intox

I have heard it said
many,
many times.
I am sure
you have heard it, too.
“Drunk words
are sober thoughts.”
A rather
quaint
idea, if you ask me.
I suppose this brainchild,
if you will,
does have basis in reality.
But, oh,
if you knew the thoughts
that hid behind
my thinly veiled
curtain of moonlit landscapes,
you too,
would know
that there is not enough
whiskey or rum in the world
to drown the ocean
that was her.
