The Wall

Wherever I come At home Or outdoors No shore nor apple No cloud nor maple Only boundaries to appall The inexorable wall Neither dream nor dance You are allowed Lance upon the wall Stops you from being a sky Where you can fly The wall stands to deny The world and the life As threatening as a knife If you dare to defy And ask why No reason no season Just the dispensation Not toward the ocean No dancing a waltz Submit to the walls Can any one live Like a free river Singing swaying sweetening Swelling shining shimmering Filling and unfilling In a democracy? No, innumerable walls Ready to befall A city Labrador Seeking an ice harbour A slice of freedom Some moments handsome No leeway Everyday is installed Walled blockades Of varied kind In front and behind Take it easy We have to live In a walled ecstasy Wall and wall everywhere Baked black despair No room to breathe Pollution free air Your breathless hair In the uneasy chair __________________________ 22/10/2016
