Words Mend the Wall
Something there is that doesnt love a wall
That wants it down
'Good fences make good neighbors'
Theyre not my Frosted words to recite
But when I write
The words bypass my judgement
They just appear on the screen
Or on the lined paper
Or the napkin
Or the sidewalk in blotchy chalk
Maybe the wall
Is what I saw
And what I chose to try and break down
The wall blocks the feelings
But the words pass through, somehow
The concrete no longer solid and rigid
But porous and cracking
The words fill in where the wall is lacking
Maybe my bricks dont have to be heavy
Nor do my words have to be chilling
I choose to allow the words to break the floe
And that is the road that I choose to go
