all I have are these letters

keys to free my soul

the only way to uncage my dreams

     but I keep fumbling

     unable to overcome limits of mind and language

          can’t seem to stop dropping words

          spilling sentences on the floor

          smashing syllables on concrete

I always end up picking locks with what’s left

to get the cell doors open just enough

for some peace to slip through once in a while
