The Escape, by JD Kruger, GLP4

Deeds and Angel -- JD Kruger, GLP4











The Escape

When I think of love
     it vanishes
like the key of Houdini
     half swallowed, lodged
in his throat, to be
     coughed up only when hidden
at the bottom of the lake, performing
     the magic of unbinding
releasing the crowds from their own
     invisible iron chains. Regurgitating
the barely mouthed Word, I
     perform the dreadful escape
rising to the surface, once again
     tucking the key in my throat.
