glass and bars enclose them
animals (spirits of wild)
see me?
I see you
land, air, and sea
shooing zoo-keepers
have I ever heard them speak?
animals no need
words are gazes, sounds, and free-
dom dom dom
phrases the elephant beat
reverberating my glasses
blurring my vision
quickening the beat of my heart
lub dub lub dub
step into the cage
you can do it
wild is what I want
fear is all I have
now my dream fades...
awake
