Free The Prisoners
I want to free you from every kind of attire
From that delicate glance that is not quite desire
And I want to see you entirely naked
Of every posture of every false question
And I want to know your holy transparent fire
A storm a train a bright star dancing on your eyelids
And I want to free you from trappings and obscure views
From all of your ideals and newsreels of the mind
And it occurs to me that I write such things
Because of your shocking beauty
It occurs to me that I write such things because it’s a duty
To free the prisoners free the prisoners
And I want to shout out against sleep and indifference
Against conversation and category and the cold hard calculation
And I want to undress you of all your pretentious lies
And that entire game you play of being civilized
And I want to liberate that monster in your womb
And sweep away the clouds and gloom
And I want to free you from the burden of desire
And lay you down in the cool, cool fire
