I live
on the edge
of cheerfulness

I live
fear and pain bite
starched sheets, sterile and cool
everthing white
scared lonely feelings

I live
and yet the question - why?
-me-?
always the question - for how long?
-now-?

I live
imprisoned, bound
to a drip
my destiny
counted out in droplets
that tick like a metronome, a timelock

I live
-no more-
loss of everything, totally drugged
robbed of life
in the next life
maybe I will have
some hair on my head?
