When I was a teenager, I took LSD and lost and found my mind. A bad trip, destination salvation, and years of flashbacks. Obsessed with Yeats, visions and gyres, and experimenting with the Golden Dawn, I wrote this poem.

ICE has kept a disabled double amputee prisoner for over 14 months. Rodney Taylor has been denied access to his prosthetic legs. Forced to crawl across dirty floors to access food. Placed in solitary. Denied medical accommodations. They’re killing him & he needs the community to make noise!

Her husband is a double amputee in ICE prison. She confronted Kristi Noem over its cruel conditions: ‘I have a fire inside’
Mildred Danis-Taylor dropped everything to advocate for the release of her husband, Rodney Taylor. A brutal year of legal and health challenges led her to Capitol Hill

I thought this poem deserved a bit more context as it may seem like a quick warm-up when in reality it's crystallised MONTHS of mental health disquiet. Thank you for allowed as the prompt.
