emancipation

as she thinks,
so she is free

what is in
cannot be, cannot
but does
is not
but is

a rose from a dry garden
a rose with a single full blown blossom

a dead lamb
dead
meat for the dogs

a camel to be slaughtered
or milked

the neck of a chicken
a broken river

we are not long for here

everything
is a trial of
probability

someone will stop
the wheel

leave you

with everything.
