Tatyana Carney Poet Free verse

Night's Ownership

Strip me into forward motion
 - no hang up's, no quirks
   no past circumstances
   to break concentration
   or weigh down my steps
Break neck speed to future roads
  - no seat belts from old wrecks
    no long bruised esteems
    which stand at attention
    and stifle my breath
Two turns 'round the world tonight
   -no shoes, no socks
    no walking at all
    We'll fly with our wings
    long hidden in silk
Straight dives to the sea of green
   -no gear for scuba
    no holding our breath
    for the water will break us
    if we don't just give in
Push me into moving forward
   -no stagnancy, no sorrow
    no excuses of tomorrow
    and somehow, on this day
    we break through all our walls
Hold my hand in rhythm
   -no fear, no reasons
    no lost comprehension
    with only discovery
    that we own the night.
