Turn away —
Do you have to see each hook,
each place along the ladder
where each of us has been
so deftly tethered?
(Most of us don’t even try
to find release,
deeming the resulting fall
too perilous a risk)
Turn away,
for you don’t need to fight the structure,
You only need to cease to give it life.
Turn away
by turning towards your truth, your love,
Walk there
and all the hooks will fade.
