Octopus-trap
clamping my heart
Keeping it alive
for delayed death

As if consumption-
dying inside-out
and claustrophobia-
weren't wasting enough

Death by trap:
not ideal by
any means, no
Freedom beckons

Lying liberated
in an open field
where no one sees
as I leave earth alone

That - would be
The way to leave
Unencumbered
- a Release.
