Freedom

Attaching

labels

to any body

part bigger

than your heart

just hurts

too much.

&

What if my health

is as simple

as your golden

pocket?

&

Threaded with loose ends

but good intentions,

waiting for some change

to make its fold

full again–

&

When perhaps

it has been ready,

all along,

to be

free.
