A Binding to Freeness

Inspire

a binding to freeness

Like a birdsong, calling
before flight

To fold up
or expand as needed

Holding up
the view at hand
impeded
without you

Climbing over knotted bramble,
scrapes torn spots

I sit still
and beg again,
Inspire a binding to freeness

Collapse

Burnt imagination
branding liquid memory
reflects
a vibrance untarnished,
locked away

Frozen underneath
key and all

Sitting by bolt and shutter
with hope of any warmth
to neutralize
a path

Where the sound of hammer
or chisel
could collapse

Could collapse

or chisel

where the sound of hammer,

a path

to neutralize

with hope of any warmth

Sitting by bolt and shutter

key and all

Frozen underneath,

locked away

A vibrance untarnished

reflects

branding liquid memory

A burnt imagination

Branches

Along the edge
of branches

Hope finds
more
parallels

A steadying

Where winds
grow wings
