Can you stomach me now?
Can you witness me now?
If I kiss
Will you approve?
If I love
Will it scorch you?
-I need to know you can stand this
I see soldiers
panthers prowling
But be careful now.
There are snakes in the house
And wolves in the street
-Watch your back
I feel stuck in this year
Caught in it
Surrounded by it
Like a cocoon
When does it end?
How does it end?
-There are no more predictions
For awhile
I will try to write about joy
Not because this time deserves it
but because I do
-Coming back
