Wall Words
A wall keeps us apart one which I have built unknowingly one whose dimensions I cannot recall sometimes I think I hear your voice and I press myself desperately against it straining to catch a note a tone a cadence I can maybe place out in the world I pace I walk I climb and I find no end this wall is a kind of shadow so that even as I turn and twist it never ceases to exist it follows me I think there must be something I'm not allowing myself to see I am an animal caged by my own design clawing and grasping and asking for a freedom I am obviously afraid of what then do I do this wall that I have fashioned fails me and what I wish to offer you
