Broke the spell
With the unwrapping of small square
Slippery plastic:
A reminder of freedom
Liberation from the wretched retching
A swift movement towards closed
After which, the only thing oppressive:
The sweat
on the back
of the neck
:
The nearness of a traveled, intimate face
Unraveled the rabble
Of mock-minded messengers
Who had set up their bivouac
in the back
of the neck
Stared dauntless and excited
At the withstanding wisps of loyalty
As they fell in sparkling twists
from the back
of the neck
