Walls

A statement

A procedure

A measuring device.


Formal decision marked

within straight lines,

a game,

broken down

they become impoverished

and jagged.



in between the walls

are doorways,walkways

where you can hide,where you can sleep.


you can play the saxophone here,

be asked to leave

because your here.


A image

A Communion  of drowsy bodies

of expiring sins



then there are the walls

I have

for

you.
