once out

once out.
you run and run, until
you no longer
hear the dogs behind you.
no longer
hear the whip,
the gun,
the stomp of boot.
the voice
of discontent.
you go up stream
swimming madly
until you reach the sea.
never will you go
back again.
never to be with thirst,
or hunger,
at last you are free.
