Chronicles of Memory


I falter
At the waking thought of dilemma,
Offered as sacrifice
To the crocodiles of the Nile.
Pain enslaves
My faculty, pressed to the grave
Yesterday breathes again
In the chronicles of my memory.
Like birth pangs on a virgin
Unfamiliar with my kind of reality,
I express an exceedingly split personality
And my ecstasy
Is a reinventing of soulful misery.
