Gut Feelings? for friend Vivek

sonnet in tetrameter

 

 

Gut Feelings?

 

I can read omens in entrails

 of cockerels I sacrifice.
my inner vision seldom fails.

 I am the local Haruspice.

Although you may not understand

 the message that I give to you.

I must do as the Gods command

as I am bound by oath to do.

The Gods enjoy their little jest.

They make their messages obscure.

Although I always try my best.

There is no way I can be sure

The message I relay to you

is the one I am supposed to.
