I Watched the Angry Walls Burn Down
I watched the angry walls burn down
today and slowly pour the pain inside
ten caves that hide where daylight dies
among the laughing daffodils with smiles
that fear the season change between the
rocks that once held joy now dashed
before we ever knew the green that led
nine souls to rest far from the river where
one man's loss as eight red wagons slowly
circle apes who cry like humans not but
trial and stone placed bones at final
resting plot beside the bones that call her
home seven times before I learn the
answers why the shield prevents the sun
once more as six of sounds crash through
yellow finite life I know not why I know
not why five times she cries then turns
around falls four more 'till heaven sends
three said he for two they were and now
are
one
