Smallest Coin of Life



Albinoni’s adagio is playing. Behind closed eyes,
I fly this basket of bones and am free as sunlight;

not pacing back and forth the confines of a skull
fed by vessels circulating blood.

I am free.

This is the least freedom I have claim to;
the least freedom all have claim to; the smallest coin of life.
