_Extreme Moments_

In those extreme moments
 Words rumble against the gates To exact the essential 
offerings Of your body parts One by one at the alter Of the contract you made years
before While drifting like a dreamy doll Around the holy fire. In my hours of solitude
then I do the repair work Of stitching my soul to my body To hide the shame of nakedness
From my own self.
