"Ambivalence"
"Ambivalence" I bear a flicker of light Sometimes smouldering You can't see it It is hidden somewhere in my soul Blown here and there by the wind Tossed to and fro like the sea I tread paths Winding like the curled body of a snake Dreadful, unspeakable It is like wonders. They are like questions caught in between fallen teeth, Entrapped, howling silently to the roof top If ever words are enough, If ever thoughts are able to imagine How life fades as it begins Or how each day leaves despair for the next Yet when tiredness encircles our whole To sleep we must go And shut our eyes from all that we are And never want to see.
