Sometimes I fly/
like a bird/
whose cage/
disintegrates/
take refuge in the sky/
far above dishonored places/
tear-streaked faces/
disgraceful relations/
egregious abominations/
far above the pain inside/
the shame I’d hide/
the way I did as a child/
when I died/
inside/
the victim of homicide/
committed suicide/
and/
untied my spirit/
set her completely free/
from temporal confines/
freed/
ostensibly/
sought reality outside of me/
apart from the place/
where monsters spilled their seminal acids/
reduced my soul to vapors and ashes/
inurned inside black, ethereal clouds/
a voluminous shroud/
where silence shrieks/
out loud/
the way I did as a child/
flying high above the earth/
aloof; disengaged/
embraced the rage/
displaced the rage/
sometimes I fly/
like a bird whose cage disintegrates/
pay homage to ashes/
inurned in the sky/
pay homage to my soul/
consecrated, sublime/
exhume the life entombed inside/
buried alive/
God bless the child/
exhume the life entombed inside/
God bless the child/
alas, to rise/
destined to fly
