What Is Unaltered Joy?

What is unaltered joy?
What is proper fear?
The difference between girl and boy?
The difference between far and near?

Enclosing madness swirling round
Visions polluting my sinner's heart
Until I think the sweetest sound
Has turned into a noxious fart

The beauty that makes me ache
I only see perverted, altered
From the body broken for my sake
Into an object, my eyes have faltered

And yet my lover keeps on calling
My brother still extends his hand
Even while I'm like Alice falling
Into a maddening world, this strange land





God bless,
