I’m running running

for my life

sprinting hard from

 

yesterday

 

the games you played

replay nightly in

my dreams.

 

I’m running running

from the years you

kept me down

 

you

 

diced & sliced

with such precise

dissymmetry.

 

& they all smile with

knowing eyes;

who never saw

 

the hidden knives

the twisted things

you did to me.

 

I’m running running

to the sea: above an

old blue moon

 

looks down on me

& now I’ve found

my dignity:

 

I will be free

I will be free.
