Shackles

Fränz Müller

Slip out of yourself;

Scale the wall, shake off the sleep

And let your soul run wild!

Free to risk, free to roam, to think

A lover, a statistic, cruel and sadistic;

The hangman and the noose

A living, breathing being

For just one night!

    This poem presents sex as a marker of a relationship not animal gratification, and I use the term animal loosely. A poem of values. Nicely written
