stone

hardness

after a life of yielding

it has at last come to this


and here i am

pressed against you

arms braced, tense

my mind is locked

its key enconsced above me

driven, mad

with blood, old rage, old sorrows

collected and pooled

in shimmering beads of

sweat, rolls down my brow


and here i am free, powerful!

see! you, look here

here hangs a free man

whose hands are caked

with earth

a symbol of my crawl up

from my own beginning
