escape

your heart spans across mountain peaks 
tangling in saguaro, sage and tumbleweed 
I hear your song in the crescent glow 
resonating in the valley deep below 

a shadow of all you yearn to be 
all the while your heart is bleeding
a shroud covers the mirror of you soul 
not quite blanketing all of the holes 

bodily, you are not even close 
to all you need and want the most 
drowning in paper in a windy city 
from late at night till the sun has risen 

toiling hard for your escape 
to purge inside all there that scrapes 
no getting around what remains debris 
follow your heart, set it free
