I Am
...Who am I is a question,
That baffles and confuses me.

Finally the journey ended in me.

From man’s heart, spring nectar and poison

Of a fungoid parched face and a half baked gaze.
Of shrunken smoked sockets and drunken knocked eyeballs.

Yet sleep is beyond me
That basic human need has deserted me
Leaving me in a whirlwind of thoughts
