I woke in a sweat from a desirous fever
In the pocket of yesteryear
Where faults have fallen to some.
I begged not to carry the corpse.
To not be a queer fish in unforgiving hearts.
To not be buried in native clay and preserved for cynicism.
I wish to be a pauper in kind eyes.
To feel the gravel beneath my knees.
To wake in a home.
God had sent my calamity into a deep space
From which not even in dreams,
Could I ever imagine my escape.
