          What life conceives besides leaving,
          what's merely born to loyalty,
          and living hurts of self-dissecting
          to pieces scrapped by honesty;
          wish I'd love what I'm supposed
          deeply loving this self-left soul
          I mirrored broken as I
          for what reflection would keep me
          whole;
          when will this be over;
          when will my sleep by my resting
          on never dreams of brought reality,
          when will my brothers be love-feasting;
          when will this be over;
          when shall companions of truth
          would wreck me clearer than before;
          before my killers--my soothe;

          perhaps, what's anticipated
          on womb-breaking's my only blue
          for what other shade do I paint
          but love's most merciless hues;
          perhaps, my maybes are my certain,
          perhaps, there's wisdom behind
          guessing,
          but what reliance has my knowledge
          when merely questions am I dressing;
          this shall surprise me not;
          this born rotation behind conscience
          behind filtered enthusiasm
          to clear doubters of my consents;
          may let this be surprise;
          surprise to never hold existence
          on boy's uncertainties collapsing;
          for but a lie's also resistance.
