REJUSTIFY

I stray outside, the moonlit

 breeze

Flutters across

 my pain

The stars,

         so many stars

grab my heart

  and pull but I am

Too anchored

Too leery with bitter (tones) that slip

   unwillingly

The respite is brief

                                                   I know

I want to run, fly

     leave

but I just retrieve the dog

 and return

The bar is gone –

                            Unneeded

The air is recycled

Every day the same

  submission

Every night’s quiet admission

                                  I hate it.
