Molten iron pumps throughout the cracks
beat by precious life-saving beat
of each and every stronghold wall
layered with twangs of cramping meat
too close to breaking by forsaking
and not making hasty retreat
back into the silent grace of dark
reinforcements cast and complete.

Tall, foreboding shadow of the night
cast to scene by the wicked way
of familliar hauntings’ silent stirs
within the heart’s seen better day
a teasing want that crushes resolve
and cannot leave the dead to play
in reclusive darkness but instead
does thrust the light from out the gray.

Hermit Crab
inside your shell
protected from
the quiet hell
under sea
where dangers dwell
you’re safe inside
and very well
aware of
the creature spell
of hunger in
your Wishing Well

(why we built these walls)
You and I
not as we are
long ago in
a place so far
In turmoil
of secrets known
I grabbed your hand
and hid you ‘lone
Behind walls
of silent heart
you’re never found
we’re kept apart
Where you went
I never knew
yet prayed you well
and missed you true…

those walls are such ineffable creatures aren’t they
at first they are cast in solid steel
impenetrable
solid
unmovable
insurmountable
then for some god-knows-what reason
with or without your knowledge or consent
they come down just a little
then sneak back up some
down
up
down
up
they start bouncing around all over the place
until you no longer have any control over them
but they never completely go away
and [...]

going in
deeper in
hiding yin
from pain again
far within
fall and spin
no-win-win
where I’ve been
inside my skin
still so thin
can’t begin
too open
to see just when
my chagrin,
falsetto grin,
becomes ruin
palisadin’
with my gin

Don’t know
just how to be
Don’t feel
free to be me
Don’t think
I can agree
Don’t show
what you won’t see
Don’t talk
my words might only make it worse.

Walls of protection
protecting infection
infecting pain
painful rain
raining tears
tearful years
years of loneliness
lonely onliness
only walls
only walls…
