The oldest prison known,
my own.

Cold bones,
depressed skin,
barely alive… shuffling.

Everything inside
screams to hurt.

I have not breathed in joy
for years,
more than I can remember to count.

Aching to drill,
rotten tooth
the dungeon in my mind… (tormenting voices call)

Shadows slipping over cobwebs,
neck exposed.

The oldest prison know,
my own.

"Hear me, my chiefs!
I am tired; my heart is
sick and sad. From where
the sun stands I will fight
no more forever."
Chief Joseph - Nez Perce

    when love given freely is love trampled
    why love

    when every step is another stumble into a black abyss
    why lift your foot

    when every effort is made against an immovable rock
    why make an effort

    when every sun sheds light on what was
    why see

    when every moon whispers all secrets
    why sleep

    when every breath is pain filling every pore
    why breathe

    because we love.
