something about this wall
“If you can find a path with no obstacles,
it probably doesn’t lead anywhere.”—Frank A. Clarke
something about this wall
o’ershadows me
shrouds destiny
i cannot hear life call
some slumber on the breast
post-pubic smile
too infantile
then slither back to rest
some live a hundred years
cleaving the earth
līve afterbirth
without the strain of tears
sometimes i beg to die
at break of day
for no hooray
ignites my morning sky
summer may yet appear
when spirits crushed
are no more hushed
to some untimely bier
