Her Eunuch Slave: From the Akashic Files

 
Taking that
meandering path
to knowledge
he lifts each question
into place

as if a mason
mastering the fence lines
of the fortress
he has just built

to house
the mistress
of the castle
for the purpose
of securing
for her every benefit
of being free

to step out
into the world
and know
that she herself
alone
is all
that she will need

and that
there are those
who would
and can
and must
because
they cannot
help themselves
fall deeply
into love
with her

and she is free
to choose the one
who best will meet
the need
of seeing her
just as she is,

uncaged
and spied in flight,
a wing
that cannot be held
from being who she is.
