he
has been restrained
for
what seems
infinite
eternities
a
hostage of cognizance
caged
in a disposable
frame,
worn vulnerable
and
left modest again
in
that endless hollow valley
he
is a captive held
by
the sky, as she carefully
pins
him to the earth
each
verdict binds him
to
a path, he is
destined
to travel alone
he
may flee the land
a
safe road is his, and
he
can read the signs
if
he chooses to ascend
a
route of divination
life
isolated, life
but
a penance to which
he
provides his consent
