Call it Happiness

I have found the perfect headspace

to molest the keyboard

and make love to old demons

to be labelled and filed away

for another day

the words are still with me

despite feeble attempts

to pacify them

from outside influence

by learning to be comfortable

with the strange paths of desire

by growing further away from

the fragile identity of old

and into a new skin

I can move around in

there is no longer

an obligation to the dead

no impossible virtues

that need to be fed.
