FREEDOM AT LAST

The tears have washed my sins.

Taming the dead,

I start a vivisection

of myths.

 

I take an impromptu walk,

go inside my weaker self,

abandon the pretention

and come face to face with the fear.

 

No portrait, no symbol,

no map was needed.

I was going to open a locked attic

to liberate the imprisoned past.

 

O colossus,

O my golden bird,

my sun baked grief has ripened

in ruins of desires. I am free.
