Freedom Trail (Boston)

freedom runs through boston
marathon race
red-bricked timeline
encapsulates
history on the half-shell
raw
nerve-striking
red vein
coursing
pulsing 
through the city
with constitution of fortitude
rigging's
lean taut muscles
foreshadow 
Zakim's strength
you might miss it
unaware
but it's still there
in the distance
lantern eyes beckon
like northern lights
to an old church
where shadows 
of a horseman
revered for 
liberty's sake
still linger
in an 18th-century garden
history tells the story
proclaim independence
resisting oppression
from massacre mourned
emerge from the grave
shackles release
no longer enslaved
free to articulate
choose among paths
in Boston Common
uncommon trail head
at the foot of Beacon Hill
enjoy the beauty
walk and explore where
freedom takes root
