The poem “Locks Exist” was inspired by a Tumblr theme that hinted at the safety of being a recluse.
The locks exist in testament to the gates that weren’t kept closed at times life escaped like the horse of fabled writ the temptations beyond four walls outside the barrier that constrains beckons those who desire something more than life restrained equines sadly run amok leaving safety of the stall when the safeguards failed to keep hearts from straying to wilderness where the barbs pierce the heart drawing blood as consequence now that locks are afterthoughts life will ponder what's been lost.
