wide awake well past a reasonable hour…i am hypnotized by the moon…full of light–reflecting power…the sky freezes in time as my synapses fire…smoking too many cigarettes…seduced by desire…transfixed and transformed–mind yearning to evolve…seeking hope–seeking strength…angels rise–angels fall…my spirit is renewed–cosmic power in my brain…i survived suicide…overcoming psychic pain….we are born to create–ashes to ashes–dust to dust…we strive for liberation…solidarity grows from trust…transfixed by the light–transfixed in the dark…our rebellion flexes muscle…healing traumas in our hearts
