I want to be engaged!
I want to feel the sweat again that lies
beneath my collar, merciless.
I want to lose myself in thought
provoked by unsolved enigmas with my own
existence as the bare challenge
I want to grovel at my worst near
defeat's last morsal of redemption with nothing
but my own word to materialize what I've come
to accept as truths and lies
With a damaged throat I want to feel that pain
accompanying a scream of victory beyond
sheer agony, beyond abysmal expectations,
beyond Hope.
Shed wringed tears of joy/pain forced to the last
ounce of my All. And then some.
So again I can feel these intangible wonders of being alive.
