(Just a "vent")

Oh, good golly, good Molly,
these times won't set me free
instead impale true womanhood
to the same old money tree
with glee at my aversion
to its rough and bumpy bark.

It’s thought to be a suffering
and a means to make me beg
but in the scheme of life and things
just a mountain to be climbed
by my determination
to one day live again.

But there, over there,
where the bluebird always sings
the place for all I’ve come to be
waits in agonizing silence
for my overdue homecoming.

It’s enough to sever nerve ends
and snap each vertebrae
that carries to the mind and heart
love’s untainted energy
but there’s always a tomorrow
written into wishful thoughts …
and there confined I read
until once again asleep
to my reality.

Oh, good golly, good Molly,
I hear but cannot see
that sly and most elusive
bluebird of happiness!
