Uncage My Heart
The bluebird asked it of the moon
The words over and over, whistled
like a prayer
from one creature, sapphire and soft
to another creature, radiant in cool honey blaze.
Uncage My Heart and let her be free
For even here
behind these walls
she sings and thrives and pounds
She bleeds and paints
She rattles and rests and seethes with life
From behind bars of bone
seeps her glow.
And so
Uncage My Heart
Let her break free and radiate
Let her drip wine and spark fire
Roll in dust and tumble in clay
And be forever free alongside you
Love elephant and want to go steady?
