I won't die today

I won't die today.

Dressed in black, face veiled
Uncertain of my window
Sleeping without dream
Confused with colour
Language and tongue
Shapes and sizes
Tired eyes that see black.

I undergo a sympathetic study
Standing naked and awkward
The mirror strangles my existence
Long hair suffocates mind and air
Kneeling on the floor
Razor surfaces the scalp
Dressed in red, face veiled.
