dead.<br />

I am a vessel of incommunicable language, of childhood memories, of<br />

knowing I am going <strong>to</strong> die, of wondering if people know I love them, of<br />

being embarrassed <strong>to</strong> tell them I love them, <strong>to</strong> stumble on my words. I am<br />

afraid <strong>to</strong> be loved, I protect my isolation which is pierced by a song, my<br />

favourite singer whispered poetry from the core of his humanity and he<br />

breaks my isolation and I am for a moment inside the river of life and it is<br />

cold and frightening.<br />

I remember from months ago, years ago, watching films alone in my parents<br />

living room, retreating back in<strong>to</strong> a fetus, in<strong>to</strong> a thought on my father’s mind,<br />

I am as an absurd happening, an absurd suffering which bursts out of<br />

darkness then defuses back <strong>to</strong> it. any world that is formed by a big explosion<br />

is bound <strong>to</strong> be cruel and senseless.<br />
