Too many bodiesencroach on peace;I lack boundaries,the self-worth required to assertneeds – dwell in basements,mind cluttered,external noiseobliterating me Backdoor providesescape, backyard,back gate… …freedomI disappearinto the quietof the wild:wooded sanctuary,flowing water,watchful eyesof birds overhead Here, I define self.
