Target practice May 7, 2015

 

I do target practices in my mind, my dart aiming for the center she exposes, a bullseye on this attempt or that, leaving a stain at the end, white not red, not blood, but just as precious. I am more than half drunk on wine when I do it, which always affects my aim, and so I have to clutch my dart with both hands to assure that I hit what I aim for.

They claim practice makes perfect, though I still crave for the real thing, doing it when it matters and not just in my mind.

Does it count if I only get a rim shot, or come close, but not quite all the way the way they say with horseshoes?

To east it in and move it around so that my dart hits the hot spot beyond the center circle, to that place deep inside, which I pound out, practice I know will never be real.
