Universal Drama
In this 'verse my life is a tragedy.The death of my lover sealing the deal.
In another 'verse perhaps I live happily,
But with fewer opportunities at learning to heal.
In this 'verse my life is a satire.
A chorus of proud phalluses singing a siren's song.
In another 'verse our love is unmarred by desire.
In light and love we live our long lives strong.
In this 'verse I hope for a comedy.
May the last of my life be spared sorrow and pain.
In another 'verse I might be reaching endlessly.
In this life I seek peace with what remains.
