locked

it seems my freedom is locked away
my love languishing in memory's clink
clink of shackles and
manacles of a prison invisible
but still all too real

at night in dreams I feel it escape
call it momentary holy flight
call it seeing, call it prescience
I see one possible future in glimpses
of wide open fields and sweat
and the smell of intention
i see another in unknown persons
lurid, secret, aroused.

understanding insanity does little for prevention
but freedom can be put to use.
