Brittle

Collapsible
dividers mired)
between your reach
(and f r e e d o m ' s flight

containUntilYouPressAgainst

not most with might
and not from fright:

through firmer will
induced by faith

believing walls
will crack and fall

no matter brittle
drear the feel

once choice and inner strength congeal

and when you trust such things be done
you liberate your spirit:

run.
