sonnet ninety one

drugs shoot up my veins
like the scorching heat of
the sun, like a secret divulged
after the vague and desperate

attempt to hide it beneath
my own shadow, like a
wilted flower denied of
its own voice, its intentions

muted and enveloped by
solitary reveries, by walls
made into daunting pantheons

salvaged by the goddess
that is you - at last
humbled by the risk to live.
