how can you hold anyone
captive, imprisoned
when what all the heart holds is
passion, fanatic
waiting for the right moment to break
free, liberated
from the closet and fly away like a bird,
emancipated

Release the silence, speak away
the depths of hurt, outward

why do you spend your time
crying, dejected
when all tears have been spent,
leaked, dispensed
in an after state of being
wasted, expendable
for whom you wished to be like a limb,
attached, affixed

Release the caged bird within, escape
from the hole of recall, climb

exhume
the skeletons of forlorn remains
and rejoice
in the birth of tomorrow,
light
the flame so that there is delight
and sing
the song of life and keep singing

the sting will disappear soon
and the scorpions will stay aloof
