wall

Day 1608, fell.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1608.jpg

A dividing wall

lay flat

on a corrugated

blood soaked

metal floor

~

there are no people here

they are long gone

mending their wounds

~

the wall fell

but who

will raise it again

Day 1585, barriers.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1585.jpg

I stumbled upon

this wall last week

~

it is solid

but also made

out of many

small facets

stacked

together

~

it doesn’t really matter

it is still

standing

in my way

Day 1429, stale air.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1429.jpg

We all

live motionless

together

~

looking

at the world

behind

stone walls

~

through

windows

we sometimes

open

to let

the stale air

in

or out

Day 1063, a wall.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1063-1.jpg

Change, a white wall, with a door.

A sign, something written, a mark

deteriorated, for ages, illegible.

A warning, description, a guide?

Will you do, a next step, be afraid?

Not knowing, immobilized,

or unabashed, and open, forget.

Are you afraid of the unknown

or afraid of standing still?

Day 988, impossible to scale.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 988-1.jpg

A wall looms afar, dark and grey.

Rising higher, I approach,

to see the other… side, if there is one.

 

Now I am here, reaching out with an open hand.

To feel the surface, resistance, if it is…

cold, hard, impossible to scale.

Day 771, entombed.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 771

Unwillingly trapped behind illusive dividers

the world clearly visible unreachable close by

my flight in-vain pathetic… entombed.
