Poem: Survival #2

The wounds of joy
Abide with me,
Recollected in tranquillity.

The golden boy
Inside of me
Is connected to agility:

He tightrope walks across the shocks
That shake and shatter the ice blocks
That build around my brains;

His slightest smile remains awhile
To wake and water the stopped clocks
That gild me with their chains.

That horse of Troy
Still glides in me;
It protects my ability.
