We Can Be Prisioners Of Our Bodies




It Has Been Years Since Thoughts of Death Crossed My Troubled Mind

It Has Been Years Since The Terror Of Another Day Faced Me After a Sleepless Night


I Stopped My Medication

And…Three Poems Tumbled Out

I Stopped My Medication

Pulled My Car To The Side

And …Cried Quietly and Modestly

For Before Me I Saw A Sunset For The First Time Again


I Know…If The Terrors Return

I Can Hide Again

In the Frozen Mercy of Medication


And I Know…

I Know Again

I Will Return From The Shadow Land

The Land Of The Dry Mouth…

And Frozen Eyelids

And...Will See The Sunset

And,,,Will Feel... Yes Feel...And Feel

And Will...Yes...Love!
