Unwinding

We’re like foie gras geese, 
force-fed information
except we control the hose.
We can walk away. 

I did it. Cut the cord and walked. 
I unwound the threads that held me 
and followed them out of the labyrinth, 
through the door the spider held for me. 

Outside. I re-wild. I walk into misty hills.
I watch the sun set for the first time in ages
and hold faith
that it will rise again.
