What I want
Im trying something different; no stanza breaks. some advice, please?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I want to escape the bigots who
chain me here,
who handcuff
my wrists to a chair.
I want to die on
my feet,
feel the wind on
my face
as I turn towards
my Father.
I want to die in her arms
with her fingers stroking
my hair.
I want to escape with you into the summer
feel the grass between
my toes
and feel you standing right beside me.
Though it may be a sin you are all that I want
now and forever.
Amen.
