Anna Wille : Was I once a spark

Was I once a spark
Down a realist corridor ?
Did I give my heart
To a purple sky -
Now did I, did I ?
Would I say I was happy
Or failing that, engaged with the world,
Silver wires in the brain
That sends shockwaves through the heart of mine
A gold mine
A glow of pain and pleasure…
Would I give all of that
Really all of it
For a safe warm night with you
Followed by a safe warm day
With you
Or you
Or, really, me.
