Barbless Sparks

… Barbless, -nothing holds or cuts you You are free to fly and consume the sky You are as an uncontainable spirit Nothing evil fastens your inner eye You see diamonds beneath a deep blue sea Safire's glowing Where there said not to be. … Barbless, -nothing holds or cuts you Nothing plagues how high you can fly You are as a diamond city on the moon You are as all the sunsets, the sunrises Courageous in their tremulous breaths Blooms, nothing but intimacy, light, Joy consumes your inconsumable soul. … Barbless, -nothing holds or cuts you You are as an uncontainable spirit A butterfly breaking free, its cocoon, A homecoming-flower atop an iris-rhizome You settle on the air and float everywhere Free as can be; we want only to incarcerate thee Jealous as jailor who-one-day-soon must release thee. … Barbless, -nothing holds or cuts you You are totally-free There are no more guards or boards No more emptied hearts like gourds to fill You are beyond their reaches and hollow faithless needs You are a bayou sunrise an island reaching out beyond the moon Further, then the land can stretch out a sandbank too. … Barbless, -nothing holds or cuts you You are totally free; you are totally free all around us.
