without direction
I am bound
within a dark room
by non-existent chains
I sit cornered
behind walls
built by heart
beyond the reach
of the light
flowing through
an open door
like a glacier
in slow retreat
clawing the earth’s face
until I bleed silence
Can you hear the ice
break then fall
into the forgetful
and forgiving sea
