shake it out & lay you down
lean into the hushly furrow
atween cotton wool eyes
the approbation of dreams
where you don’t need to be heard
where you don’t need to be owed
where forever can be like nothing
aslumber in their scaffolding
yet you don’t need their dispensation
to let it all fall away now
so no more maimly going clear
no more sideways tussle
& no more fuzzy words in your ear
