no freedom, trapped again down here
no, that's not entirely true
several nights of doing things
too long ignored
right now my duty calls and i pretend not to hear
right now i want not to face her
nor her voice to hear
right now i want to run to the bush
alone and sombre sanctified
instead the same old crutches prop me
abet my escape from what's inside
it's time to move
on to what must be done
the fear is not so gripping
when held up to the sun
