On Escapism

Ted Jackins

Feel for a pulse,
this soul is yours
to complete-
no spaces or
line breaks,
only truest letters
and funeral wreaths
for the ones who fade
and wither,
poetry for battle
keep it like a shield
and you will be safe.
Call this mine shaft a home,
this crowded bar an apartment,
this bruised and broken bottle
tonight’s dinner.
Batter typewriters in the name
of countless angels
too beautiful
to forget,
and too bitter
to forgive,
thoughts compose
a roadmap,
follow it forever
and you will be free
