under
Under
I want to understand
how
long has it been
have I been under
anesthetized
but
specifics scatter in wide directions;
more fabric for them to
weave their nets from
How long have I written in code
how many
words have I used to ask for escape
where to find it
my
chest jumps as air thickens
their hopeful harness begging me to
write in their language
knowing mine will attract me
why is my
wholeness guarded
as it claws its way back
we have been
found
they pace around us
uncertain hunters
armed with tools
from a master
designed to embolden the ones so tethered to
touch
breaking a trance that spouts I'm not good
enough
encouraging I linger on inaction
as my actions are
driven by me
my treasure has narrowed
they do not know how to
not own something
I didn't either until they taught me
a
lesson I'll gladly return
