To burst

To escape

To implode

To collapse

To ignite

To break down the dams and avalanche the ocean

To be that small stream of light that sneaks into the darkness

To careen from the side of the mountain into the trees

With the weight of a an anvil and the power of a bird

Sore back up into the sky

To be a love that is free

 

Today my heart was begging me

To let in roam

To let in run

To find the apex of this moment

Is it bars

Or walls

Motes or mountains

Barriers or gates

Or roofs that hang around me,

Asked my heart

Is it shields or locked doors?

Is there oxygen in this cavern ?

Where is beats against the cage of my ribs

–alone.

 

Are the blood and lungs and vessels and nerves and cells of a single system enough?
