Off the Hook

No matter the bait

You can still escape

Seeing the route 

To avoid the debate

Feeling yourself 

Newly off the hook free

Directionless maybe

Off again wild

Shimmering majestically

No fault reconciled

Set others free

In the network of life

No connections to keep

No opinions no lies.

-I AM Eve is One

Wind in the Mane

I contact a memory and
My heart is stung,
With pain of a longing
With pain of "it's done"
What is this pain after?
What does it want?
I can't replace any of
That which has clung
Onto my heart's favorite
Songs to hear sung

The love that is severed
By sudden strong change
Companions and lovers
Seem to be in this range
Of particular stubborn
Chords of sweet notes
Struck by these memories
By my feet I am hung.

Sentiments written
Images shown
Please free me from wanting
To freedom what's flown.
New starts and cycles
Death and rebirth
Leaves me in wonder
What tightens the girth*
Of that which won't leave us
That which has tamed
That which has kept us
From wind in the mane**.
