So excited to go to sleep
Perhaps this will be the time
I will awaken in a dream of you
for evermore
as my body stays behind
decaying in times without you
on broken paths one travelled
12 June 2020 Vista, South Australia
I only wanted to play the part of the villain
laughing in a sacred alley
Far from the middleclass white neighbourhood
I grit my teeth in
and I would
if only I had gotten out of bed
yesterday
12 June 2020 Vista, South Australia
I enjoy a cautious narrative
as long as my life is not the subject
The same for a cautious wind
which with I could never set sail
This tumultuous life
Constant explosions
Screams of the unjust
I love this rudderless storm
Playing charades with the elderly
in this crumbling asylum
Australia in isolation
