freedom

now freed

now freed the turtle

swims beneath the lily pads

new friends arriving

La Cutura 11 September 2021

Come, stand

Come, stand on my shoulders
They are broad enough

Come, let my arms lift you
They are strong enough

And, when the wind blows,
And, when the spirit takes you,
Fly, fly free

shake

shake your hair loose
let the future be dancing

I kept my distance

I kept my distance.

I stayed away.

I treasured independence.

I closed my eyes.

I held my breath.

But then I saw you dance.

Planes cross above us

planes cross above us
wide chalk lines on blue
skies promise freedom
