Chained in a cupboard,
hiding starving rage;
moist lonely prison ward
thoughts flowing from the cage.
Old clouds of mem'ry ringing
thin branches, capillaries;
delicate lives singing, dancing,
hopping through the mystical breeze.
Hot sting of dis - allowance,
steel cotton wool betrayal
reveals a hallowed trance,
an ever stalling trial.
Reflection burning
radiant fiction:
mindless churning
contra - diction.
Strain deepened,
sound decried,
weaken- ed,
denied.....
Chained
