\nI was strip searched by sunbeams
\nInterrogated by the breeze
\nPut on trial by butterfly screams
\nJailed in turquoise fields
\n
\nBullied by guards in pools of shards
\nIn a stink of echoes and heel
\nBroken, a token of cardboard gruel,
\nOn a parabolic punishment wheel
\n
\nLast, I was rehabilitated
\nReleased with a clatter of geese
\nInto your open sesame arms
\nAnd a final, whispering peace
