Intangible Obscurity

Unwritten chapters of poetry
 hidden mid brick-wall blank
 pages 'tween lines of history's
   past grievances and faux pas,
relentless whispers of tenuous
   echoes chanting unintelligibly 
whilst abstruse inky passages
  fade further intangible obscurity

All kinds of walls, some are not meant to be scaled and are surrounded by a mote. Another beauty, Paloma:)

This one has me singing Mellencamp in my head, "And the walls, come tumbling down" We do build walls at times I believe to keep the past in the past but still, there are cracks and it sneaks in when we least expect it. Amazing piece Paloma.
