In the intoxication of my emotions
At that moment when my heart is in control
When my brain is soaked in chemicals
And my blood flows with concentrated hormones
I said those words
Now that I arise from my stupor
And awaken from my drunkeness
Now that my eyes’ redness blur
And my feet’s strength return
When my senses nudge me
Then I remembered
I said those words
I had created a vast ocean
One once filled with fishes and corals
Now red with lethal Dinoflagellates
All in her after
I said those words
My mind sings my desire
If I could turn the clock’s hands
Then I saw the vision
Displayed on refined diamond
With a background theme ‘broken calabash’
I said those words
They are eggs
Angry or Happy
Only the ground state is stable
Broken glass pieces
I wish I hadn’t but
I said those words
