After Petrarch, Sonnet 64
If you got free by any strange behavior,
remember how it felt, that first new day
outside the bars, the day he first decided
you were no longer worth his while to cage.
If you got free by any strange behavior,
do not return his calls, do not return
to get the things you left behind, do not
return to seek the safety of that jail.
Be strange again. Be stranger, braver, freer.
Fly faster, higher, crazy as you choose
to be. Fly without fear, for everything
you had is lost, all plans, predictions, hopes,
and chains. Accept it that he changed, you changed.
So bless the strangeness. Learn to bless the strange.
