never again next to you

Prompt: Inspiration Call: Tanka Thursday
I will not be trapped
by the four oppressing walls
but fly with the moon.
The desire to fly under the full moon, toward a destination, without any baggage. The best kind of flight ever. But the image is poetic in how it captures the full moon, the clouds and the birds, using the buildings as a kind of frame.
