love now twisted, face without voice or breath
once my celebrated life tinged by fate’s warp
wrapped in hard shell of hated past
on dawn’s back draped in love’s hue
I’ll find its track and rush through
Oh sordid past! Now no more torment
I’ll hold your hair with one hand
your poisonous horns with another
into forgetful depth forever your life
restoring my spirit with downpour of hope
clarion call for a new life, my birthday
