boxing day

no rescue from this

your sarcophagus

 

you'll rest your feet

and call this your

stopping place

 

but movement will come

to shake you

and vibrate you

 

to tell you that

your day remains

undone

 

wake WAKE

 

sleep not for

your world awaits

abated on edge

 

the sword--your words

--a final precipice.

I guess it's a roundabout way of saying that we run the risk of killing parts of ourselves when we deny their expression. While I realize that we aim to do just that by repressing undesirable traits and propensities, I'm also sure that much decency is inhibited for the sake of remaining secure in our outward circumstances. What I mean is, freedom is rarely free. Though, it seems to me that it must be that if we are naturally endowed with a particular talent or perspective, the world is robbed and incomplete while that which could promote change for the better remains subjugated to inferior demands.

Thanks for reading and commenting, David and Ray. I really enjoy the opportunity to discuss the finer details.

There is no escape elP from the pressing need, even over Christmas. A prison of freedom.
