THIS POEM, RIGHT HERE

this is as close

as I've ever been to freedom

the word on

the page that liberates me

soothes my confusion

offers a remedy to the madness

keeps me off the streets

holds my hand when I'm about to sob

and rubs my tired temples

after a long day's work

and tells me, "there, there,

honey, it'll be all right."
