Lost and Found
a dream creeps sultry while I sleep
whispering a balmy breath
hints seductions
unintelligible invitations to
a lazy labyrinth where the lost
prowl reach awkwardly
for themselves
there in its midst
we are born
only to return again and again
I had escaped that muted maze
where amplified admonitions
suffocated me but still
the glorified guilt of my own inert
inventions haunts
until I reluctantly return
naked as I was at first
to find the peace
which was always there
within
