as I writhed and wiggled,
wanting to escape,
all the while trying
not to hyperventilate...
He proceeded to interrogate me
with a bright light in my face,
asking me all kinds of questions,
for his case..
I knew he was...

Self-Interrogation 
           by Odin Roark

How carefree the traipsing inward
Responsibly free
Charging capsules
Poured golden or clear liquid
As acceptable excuse

Whether alone
Engaged in barstool profundity
Or slumped against an alley...

There must be something behind those eyes
Alluring secret on thine eyes
Beneath this ground, of wooden floors
A chamber hidden so well within
There must be something behind those eyes 
Alluring secret on thine eyes
Your body shakes of such news
To tell, your reasons do apply
About your fear of...

Bright spotlight
displays the quiver
and sullying squirm
of bare blood red humanity,
pushed back in the chair,

And I 
From the Nebo of my knees
Searched earth, sea and sky
In vain
For what I need I already was
And what I am to be I am
Creature of his hands
He who is
And never was
And never can be to be
For his eternity
Is one now
One absolute moment
That consumes...

Along with shaky and scared.
They ask me questions
And I give them some answers,
But not the answers they want....
