FREEDOM

Freedom

For a long time
she only flew
when she thought
no one was looking’

Naked she soared
through warm blue skies
above a busy street
all eyes to the ground.

Away from picket fence,
two cars and a dog
and roast beef
every Sunday

Returning reluctantly
to smile complacantly
and pick out
new wallpaper......

Now disregarding
earthly mores
in blissful solitude
she shouts in glee

All eyes turn up
and some frown
in disapproval....
It doesn’t matter.
