When You Are Free

When you are Free Do you know yourself Can you see inside the painted walls Quick constructed plasterboards The disguises you find In a puppetry of events Later on When you are being Without thought And it will be in that easy company When an unshackled second Slips through you With margarita salt Your laughter will sound like yours And catching you ginning Find you then looking in; into yourself This heart that I have seen Did you know back then With all the slight of hand How you ever evaded the question in your eyes What manner of you was so despised When it accepted this bouquet of lies Handed to you with all its petty flowery Did you know yourself then Do you know yourself now Now that the fettered yoke has been lifted Now that the twinkle of yourself Has surpassed You forget yourself And in lilac ribbons of maidens vestal Presumed more than the innocence You where You knew yourself then In that calligraphy of wine and sangria Unguarded When you wrapped the fullness of your rapture And twirled on daisy heads Old time clocks blown by the breath Of your freedom Will I know you then Will I have the courage Should I then embrace this wild dominion
