THE AIR OF FREEDOM
(For Jan Sownie)
To the shackled prisoner,
Immured without hope,
Incarcerated
In the darkest prison,
Gulag,
Hellhole imaginable,
Entombed
In the castle's deepest oubliette,
Condemned
To breathe
The foul stench of captivity,
The fresh air of freedom,
Come at last,
After so long,
So unexpectedly,
Is so crisp
You could
Take a bite out of it.
