Shadow Memories

Raud Kennedy

I drive around Southeast Portland
killing a warm afternoon
looking for the trigger to freedom.
When I lived in the Southeast
I felt it then. But now I carry with me
so many reasons not to do things
that my arms are tied to my sides
and I can’t even open the door
of the box I’ve shut myself in.
