The Grand Finale

Folder: 
Invisible Poetry

.

Examine these spaces

with self-manufactured locks

and bars of a material no one

will ever break. Stalk this

claustrophobic cell

like a predator stalking prey.

Only there is no prey.

.

You are your own jailor

shouting at the moon for release

and a hero to come and unlock

that which has seemed locked

as long as long is.

.

Each morning arise

wondering why you stay here

with that big hole in the cinder

blocks behind the cot with all

the fresh air blowing freedom

your way.

I Am

mine own worst enemy or used to be. I've grown wiser, but I took off and lived in New York (upstate) and then to Florida (2008) and ended up back home - I'm still pacing but too old to slip the net again - retirement makes me nostalgic - (still, a little enemy stalks inside contemplating a break-out) ;D    ~~Lady A~~
