Warmth immerses me
as the sun's rays
envelope my body
For a moment I
will close my eyes
and absorb it
Just for a moment,
until I drown
in its pool
As I am forced
to remember that
disease is my master
and realize again
that I cannot breathe
In the
beautiful,
warm,
sun-
shine.
And I am yanked
up to the surface,
harshly out of
the nostalgic emotions
the warmth redolent
By the pain shouting
From my skin
By the burning,
And the knowledge that It
may
never be
again
I gasp for air
I gasp for times
That cannot be re-lived.
