A Brush with Freedom

Well, I've had two good days of work in a row this week. Yesterday we went out to the park and hacked on it for about 20 minutes, then went and sat outside the barn for the rest of the day talking about actresses. The A-team was putting 850 bales of hay into two trailers for another prison unit to use. Not too bad for me at all. As long as I'm not called out, I won't volunteer either.

Today, however, I did get called out for the A-team while everyone else went inside. We went to the back pasture and loaded dirt onto a trailer a few times and broke up the ground with grubbing hoes to get more dirt. After a few loads we went to the shed, loaded some sand, then put it in the stalls at the barn to level it out. We got to be around the horses the field bosses use and even listen to the radio for a bit. For the first time in months I felt free, like I was just working outside on some land, no fences or razor wire in sight. That was real nice to have. Maybe the A-team isn't so bad.

Twin Soul
Forever hand in hand, my love
We touch from far away
Tethered by invisible strands
From my heart to yours they'll stay.

Whatever you go through, my love

From miles away I'll feel
Give you a loving pat on the back
Intangible but real.

Twin souls, onaji tomaskii
Alma gemela, my love
Now entwined in and through our lives
Okorimono from above.
