Flashback Queen

( from: proaudiostar )


It seizes the brain and numbs
the soul;
makes the living breathing world
a hell.

Fingers, too,
and hands and feet
belong to another,
but still persist and do their duties
ritually,

longing to touch again, and truly feel
longing to make contact
with reality.


It will come; it will come--
this curtained world has passed before,
and the waking is so beautiful,
but how I want my life to be
a continual display
of beauty.

But to do that would be to 
obliterate memory.


And that's impossible.

So I go on, still
a flashback queen,

that's me.
