[hometext] => I know why the caged bird sings, but does it have to sulk as well?
[bodytext] => Pacing the stairs and hallways like a caged animal, Up-down, up-down Measuring the steps of your despair, Marking the range of your desperation. Testing the boundaries of our love With claw and muscle and growl, Limbs and gestures drawing the line Between captive and captor. Maybe you’re not made for hoops, For obligations and commitments The mortgage of your heart yokes you, Like the cracked whip, marital vows Make you wince and bare fangs Turning your sex impotent, but not your rage. Here, then, the key in the lock, The door flung open Yet you cower in the corner, Rightly frightened of the Vast freedoms that await, And the loss of the comforting stall.
