It's here
underneath
behind the signs
of Private -
Keep Out
The Spirit
is here
Older than  woman
stronger than man
wiser than rulers
unphased
unaltered
life

I want to be outside in that sky

Summertime, so free, so high

Four walls are my captivity

This roof overhead contains me

I have so much to release, to give,
To share, to sing, to dance, to live!

So let me outside in that sky

Summertime, so free, so high

I've ripped out my own heart
Each time, still more;
Taking a hammer and chisel to chest...
Till now I see that what will be left
Is all of me that was before
But without those walls that did obscure

I speak with a rythm
And sometimes in rhyme
I like alliteration
But I'm rarely in time

I wish I didn't stammer
Or fumble my words;
The English language
Is not my preferred

It has it's restrictions
In poem and prose
In emotive expression
And so I have chose

To speak with my body
And not with my tongue
Or sometimes in image
Where feelings belong
