Open the book to break
the spine, to break the mind
of fretful habits and downcast
eyes, the doom that spirals deep
inside; unwind malaise; unknit
to rise; unmake the bed
where nightmares lie, where
tired rhymes just multiply;
defy the order; decry the law
that strikes imbalance, that spits
and saws a body in two
and calls it art, lights a world
on fire and calls it war; open
the book and crease the page;
unfold before it; behold its rage.
