she had the mark 

of my poetry 

(all the signs of

inner beauty)

He wanted her to 

be the answer to the 

question 

make the pain go away 

even though buddha said 

to suffer 

and Jesus said to forgive

and Krishna said to Remember

and Osho said to die 

and Osho said to dance

and I just forgot to ride

I need to ride or die 

Hidden from my freedom 

long enough
