it is true 5.31.25 (10:03 pm / 22:03)
it is true i wished to die,
and perhaps so i wish still,
is this not lawful for all
prisoners?
it is true that my first thought
on a balcony was how far the fall
and not how beautiful the view
is this not lawful for all those trapped?
i am a bird in a cage
the key is sitting just outside
i am the swan with clipped wings
leda of sparta
no longer a girl
but still unable to fly away and escape
it is true,
it is true,
it is true
it is true i wished to fly,
and so i wish still,
is this not lawful for all birds?

inspired by the joan of arc quote "it is true i wished to escape, and so i wish still; is this not lawful for all prisoners?"
