city walls confining all that should reveal
absent winds impeding all that should rise
moonless alley concealing all the shine
padlock on door censoring all who should explore
barbed wire on gates deterring greetings of invited
window bars restricting prisoners’ escape
obedience of silence is false
bestow the key to honesty of everything you wish to see
there i find you cold and shuddering
i offer you a token of my soul and all it brings
light the candles
allow flames to unravel secrecy
watch the dancing reflections
and merge with everlasting
break your force field
desert your decaying shelter
emerge from self-suppression
to manifest sincerity
electric fence inflicting pain to cherished ones
soundproof glass in rooms suppressing screams of fear
the walls around this city
confining all that should reveal
the absence of winds
impeding all that should rise
disobey the silence
allow yourself to give
disobey the silence
allow yourself to live
