Temporarily positioned
in a 24-hour carnival,
gambling on progress;
sleeping with delusion –
yet another attempt to
secure intimacy missed –
wheelchair accessible
only if accompanied,
a woman out of time,
anxiously dreaming of
a room lit joyously with
the surprise of pairing –
instead disoriented, I
seek guidance, am re-
routed, willingly accept
balance, emotional
stability suffice, I am
unfinished business
attempting to move on
memory not working –
a classic submersion
dulled by immobility
desire packaged, laid
down, sliding into panic,
self abandoned in favour
of a prophecy of denial –
this 24-hour carnival life.
