POEM: REST IN PEACE 1997

I’M COLD, SHIVERING FROM HEAD TO TOES
UNPEARISHABLE MOMENTS KEEP COMING BACK
I SEE THEM PASSING BY
MAKING ME FEEL NOSIATED
MY HEART HURTS
MY STOMACK HURTS
FOOD IS MISSING
TEARS ARE SPREADING
CAN’T READ ANYTHING
DON’T FEEL LIKE TALKING
FEEL LIKE BREAKING
HAPPY TO SAY NOTHING
HAPPY TO MISS SOMEONE, SOMETHING
WHERE CAN I FIND THE WIRE
THE ONE TO FIT MINE
THE ONE THAT WAS THERE ONCE
THE ONE THAT I FELT THE FIRST TIME OF MY LIFE
THE ONE THAT I WAS AFRAID OF
THE ONE THAT REACHED ME DEEP DOWN INSIDE
THE ELECTRICITY FOLLOWING IT’S ROAD
THE ROAD TO INCONDITIONAL LOVE

THE HAND THAT HELD YOUR GLOVE
IS NOW TOUCHING MY BODY
WIPING MY TEARS
AND NOW HOLDING A PEN
TO IMMORTALIZE THE HURTING FEELING
WAN’T TO LAY DOWN IN MY GRAVE
TO FINALLY REACH THE STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN
CLAMBERING UP EACH STEP
AND LETTING YOU GO IN PEACE
AS I WILL REST IN PEACE
