Feet of the Free

By Belyn Thompson

 

Running with violet feet

Pressed against soft grass

Intertwined in your ears 

 

Smokey rooms

Colors of purples and blues

Skin against skin 

Silk swallowing

Flush faces

And pink lips

Beads rattling 

In your brain

Smooth rhythm 

                               

                         Beats of a pause

Hips pressed against Hips 

Sweat dripping down 

No take backs 

You’re gone

Like the wind carrying a melody

You are a bird amongst your flock

Not alone

Not squeezed dry 

Shoved in a box

Unable to breathe

You’re free

Just Breathe
