Key

I want to feel it all

Feel it all again.

Once upon a time I knew.

Now something objects in me

Because I know

Somehow

That I am still free

From what is holding onto me.

If the hands of thought

With their clenched up fists

Let go of me

Then at last they’ll be free.

Vanish from me

Echoes in my head

Of time long past.

Numbness crawls on me

With thoughts buried in winter.

Melt the snow falling in me

Open the door

The key to me.
