ON LIFE SUPPORT

 I see life 
 like never before
 
 oxygen
 makes it presence 
 felt 
 always 
 having remained
 intangible
 
 zig-zag lines
 on monitors
 pointers
 to heartbeats 
 which stayed 
 out of way
 being less than
 20 decibels
 
 on the fringes 
 awareness hits
 I worshipped
 loudness,
 ignored 
 the gullible
 
 I feel ready
 to die
 to live again
 like never before
 rejuvenated
 at the core
