Walls
1.
Behind every wall is a story
possible only because of the wall
like the silhouette of a lover
undressing behind a screen.
2.
In the forest is a forgotten
wall, built by forgotten men
who know a lithic grammar
and can parse every stone they lay.
3.
I build a wall
on the blind river’s bend,
hang time on it
like ceramic ducks,
imagine you
playing the piano and the blind river humming home.
