THE GREAT ESCAPE

By Ber


I shed my skin and slip away

A secret through loose lips

Never to be caged again

Let the mourners grieve

Each reminisce the ghost

loved and hated

My laugh echoes in the hallway

It rushes out the back door

Caterwauling through the meadows

The siren song of freedom calling

My spirit pounds its feet on the ground

Snaking around the trunks of trees

Sighing into the mulch

Watched by mother moon

Howling with kindred kind

Never to be seen

by cursed human eyes again
