Locked

hide. run. go.

leave this place
of immaculate sorrow

your tears allow me to follow
past banks of cells
crowded with fetid life
these prisoners, memories.

let go, let god, let grief.

you're trapped in your mind
ancient and alone

i can track you by the handprints on the walls
by the staggering footfalls

let go, let go, let go.

its all over
everything has changed
etherial and consuming, translated from old years
a gesture, a sound

lock them away girl
lock them away
they only do you danger
step from the bars

places you've been
single fragments of images
locked away

run girl, run
leave this place, go
i'll watch over you.

fields of lillies
cosmos and roses

faint strains of bach
of beethoven and celestial singing

wake up.
