"Passionate Love" by Quincy

Elementary school student, Ruth Dykeman's Childrens Center
As I look at you
my voice falls,
my tongue is broken
and thin fire runs like a thief
through my body.
My eyes are dead to light,
my ears pound
and sweat pours over me.
I shudder,
I am paler than grass
and I am intimate with dying -
but I must suffer everything,
being poor.
