Four and a half senses

I was gifted with four and a half senses

 

The first was the gift to see the world

 

Opening my eyes 

 

Seeing the sharp lights 

 

Blinding at first

 

Then calm

 

Soothing

 

The second was the gift to feel the world that I could see
 

Soft blankets surrounding

 

Strong hands holding 

 

Me

 

The third gift was smell


The steroid room around me

 

Smelling of alcohol

 

The fourth sense was taste 

 

Medicine 

 

To help 

 

Heal

 

 Me

 

The final sense that was gifted with the help of science

 

They gifted me little demons 

 

Called hearing aids

 

Demons that are with me 

 

Forever

 

And yet 

 

In a way these demons 

 

Are Angles 

 

Gifted to me 

 

Four and a half senses 

 

That make me 

 

Me

    I find myself both fearful and mad

    At the outcome that happened on November 5.

    I find myself wanting to curl into a ball and hide from it all for four years.

    But I can’t.
