The Semicolon Tattoo

Imagination is a lonely bird.
 Flying high above the sky,
 In poems and prayers, 
 Through inevitable fear of death.
  
 Integrity is like an old cloth
 In dire need of mending.
 An old cloth, delicately covering
 the semicolon tattoo.
 
 Thankfully.

 “Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing 
 and rightdoing there is a field.
 I'll meet you there.”
