Eyes shut down on a dead city,
I sense the vibration of my deep inhalation.
(All the snickers lost their lustres.)
Mouths closed beneath the galaxy of prosperity,
I gasped at the tremor of my heart's creation.
(The siren drowned out the deserved cheers.)
Still my thoughts flashing into reality,
Reminiscing the fingerprints of those gone before me.
(Fingers all poised to my forehead now.)
Listen in on the silence of the cosmos.
Suddenly my self control collapses-----
-Out////to///the////air
my////rages////flew
like////servants
to////my////pride-
The vibration that is me explodes,
a seed of fire leaps through the weeds.
(They all fall back now; I raised higher my fists).
Proliferating in the ashes,
My memories, my love and my deathless ambition.
A spasm of colors as the door crashes,
I am here against all their mean wishes,
Claiming the shameless vanity
of being unapologetically me.
As I exhale.
