a shift in thought, idea, memory
casual consciences follows
years of sullen sleep.
there is the slight nudge
towards feeling that
combine to ask for escape.
all this time in confinement
of walls, borders, doors
locking away all freedoms.
another small spike
embeds itself into
the shreds of a soul.
what finds might come
to the heart left alone
for small passions of the skin.

though this required multiple reads (at least for me) to get the right 'feel', I liked it...for that reason, if no other...my favorite part:

"another small spike
embeds itself into
the shreds of a soul."
