ghosts trapped within
you can’t keep them in chains
but sometimes that’s exactly
how they feel
waltzing through fields
or transcending down a river
fed into a never-ending story
they see each other perfectly
having shed their imperfections
here and there
gathering among the gathered
accepting the incoming storm
as if they are trapped within
february two thousand twenty-two
