fed to me by some kind of ephemeral contentment.
Those sparse and few moments of clarity
filling me up with color and vitality,
sprinkling the robust zest of life on my washed-out brain.
Giving me a sample of what liberation feels like
--the emancipation from my deathless fears.
And yet all in small doses;
just enough for me to find the strength
to give the fight anticipated and required,
until the battlefield finally clears.
