THIS POEM, RIGHT HERE

this is as close
as I've ever been to freedom
the word on
the page that liberates me
soothes my confusion
offers a remedy to the madness
keeps me off the streets
holds my hand when I'm about to sob
and rubs my tired temples
after a long day's work
and tells me, "there, there,
honey, it'll be all right."
