Art Drain

I feel arrested,

my muscles in helpless rage

I wish to tear, a flood

but my shoulders won’t drop.

Just to rest.

De-stress.

It’s not my pride,

for which I have none but makings of

myself in tune with my

beat.

Rhythmic trance,

I cry for you take me.

Take me to where I can let a collapse

and just.

Be.

Natache Iilonga
