blind and deaf




my old age love, my urge to hear

a little music in human laughter

for my frail body to do my final dance

made me blind to the world’s taste



but what caused your blindness

making you bite the hand that fed

day and night as you were nestled 

in that heart you kick now to bleed



and what triggered a pile up of wax

to the point of deafness in your soul

too, stubbornly refusing an active feel

of my humanness, brokenness, my need
