This was written during the early hours of this morning, just after movement returned to my arms and hands..just enough to write. my eyesight cleared slightly too, (after the medicine-related blurring), so this could be written.
Fahnenstange
My heart and head have come apart
in summer's disintegration all around
passing me by as leaves depart
in a second's autumn shiver profoundSummer's lush cover now blown
this stark October outline deceives
in nauseous mind outgrown
a life my waning heart disbelievesLost in a disabling flood
standing like a flagpole, flag at half-mast
flying my colours in pure blood
a symbol of medical experiments pastTied to life upon this mast
within a vexed question of hospitalisation
I'll fly my flag right to the last
in rectitude stand; life's defiant!written by lauren6
