For too long
these shapling
structures
consumed our air
and swallowed
our
best
hearts
Drowning
out yearning
disavowing all
desire
for freedom
to choose
our
best
paths
Finally abandoned
obtuse orders
constrictions
fighting free
yielding promise
our
best
ideas
Our muse swelling
creative
“Here we are!”
Yelling at bonds
Those pitiful
objectionable
meaningless
fear-driven
tethered restraints
“These!”
we cry
“These are
our
best
hearts!”
Flooding
dungeons
Emitting
Radiant
Exultant
Breaking
senseless bounds
We screamed
emergent…
Emerging
from
the shroud
