I'm Dead But

I'm dead but when I come alive
I am screaming urgency
flushed and lost dead center
in each prolonged moment
hoping for groping for
needing more
bleeding from every pore at the core I am
chaos not captured
enraptured with the blistering fever
dismally aware of the brevity
resigned to the short sharp seasons
of the senses
so soon we'll fall asleep for good
and I would buy more time if I thought it would
contain all that is precious and worth
keeping now
I can cherish but to perish
seems more beautiful
somehow.
