Skeins of thoughts

entangle me

in razor-barbed-wire

and quicksand—


I’m a P.O.W. in my own mind.


When, in a moment

of cease-fire and 

divine grace,

on the crest

of the ridge,—

like a river

on the wind,—

rushing

across the

sky,,


I lift the gaze

to witness the heraldry—

A skein of wild geese

that releases me—

with their wild and jubilant, 

corporeal cries

of sweet and

glorious freedom
