Struggling against the currents
In the ocean depths
Of an eroticism that will not let me go…
Swimming now
Sinking now
Fighting for my life against the waves
Of my own raging desires…
Clutching at the straw of my rationality
Hoping to be rescued by my mind
But in vain…
Sinking still in the quicksand
Of a passion whose depth I cannot fathom…
And in the murky depths of my mind
Vague memories of my mother’s womb
Occupying spaces they should not…
How can I love
When I am not free
To be…
Floating now on the raft of courage
That rises
Released by daring…
Drifting willfully into the sunset
Of an emotion that matured
When I separated myself
From the encumberment
Of my conception…
So traveled I…the channels of my rage…
So conquered I…the deep waters of my soul
