Warm soft darkness
floating in love
encircled in invisible
arms, securely held,
endless liquid food flows.

Noises somewhere thump,
thump, woosh, woosh
mysterious kindness within
and without

But, no words. Feelings,
feelings and awareness.

Suddenly..........REJECTION,
pushing, pushing away, away,
why, why, why? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Physical pain, squeeeezing,
What is this?
Where is this from?

All love is lost, blinding light,
cold, cold, cold, alone, alone,

Explosion of all remembrance! !
All past, present lost...........
only terror

and something else,

discovering my thumb
jammed in my mouth.
