Can I feel the warmth of living,
not mourning,
Oh please not today
Can I still hear the soothing vibes
those jolly chimes relay?
Disc playing in an indestructible rhythm
on replay,
Even now I felt like a little child
rushing to play.
On the couch
laying a visitor
appeared unannounced,
Wearing a mask printed
on a label mispronounced;
Drinking liquor sitting comfortably at risk,
Wait —Am I moving freely,
working at whisk?
Today, I–
I encountered bonds
with limits I couldn't break,
Sorrounded by hungry beast
that makes my hands shake;
Rolling in pain on an inclined steep,
Distrupted by nightmares
prompting me not to sleep.
Exhausted, I might be resting
but not today,
Not until I could ride on rocking swing
crying out being gay.
