This came out of an exercise that I did with a group of young people around H.I.V.
By Daniel Carlton
I am
A shadow in the dark
In need of a spark
Ask me no secrets
Or I’ll tell you all lies
I’m all about creeping
It’s you who need the alibis
Fluids flow through intertwined bodies above below, and between the sheets
Hidden for the temporary blindness provided by lust and it’s heat
Denial and wishful thinking meet on this dead end street
Blinded by orgasms that bind instant gratification
Passport less I travel through nations
Reality on vacation
Guarantees new patients
Believing that protection is akin to castration
Gives chance after chance for me to stream through a cell creating mutations
I pursued /stalked/ trailed:
a player known as Magic
Arthur Ashe’s blood transfusion turned tragic
A kid who would never grow old named Ryan White
In addition to me there was fear and hate that he had to fight
Not only celebrities pretend that they don’t love who they love
Word from the pulpit “ Punish them freaks with justice from above”
Junkies on lines trying to ease some kind of pain
A short trip for all via mainlines to their veins
Babies seeking food from the gift of the breast
Mothers who never suspected that they needed a test
Not just some dude locked up and down low
A Hint Of Something :
I ‘m potentially everyone that you know
Synonyms: stalker, tail, tracker, pursuer
