Retreating into former skin When motivation has barred me From the life I long to lead To weave and weave daily Would be my resting place Ever complacent And sure of the waiting horizon “But it cannot be” Larks from east and west Fastening my limbs To worthwhile voyages Where I fall mute And submit…
