True North

Feigning reentry
from places I’ve wandered
Destiny challenged
the status-quo damns 

Feigning reentry
from freedom unhindered 
Life but a journey
its trappings to ban

Feigning reentry
its price was my freedom
The given agenda
new death to the dream

Feigning reentry
refusal my mantra
Staying in transit
—new rivers unstreamed
