Borders and Bastions
Walls
Liking each other when you are standing behind the wall
Putting your ears to the ground, wondering
waiting for music to trickle in
button round eyes gaze across horizons
Dust
booted wall guards kicking footsteps into the dust
witnessing one finger pointing at themselves
color staring at steel and sticking into crevices
stainless silences on the other side, loathing noise
Journeys
neither being in the soul of south or the heart of north
seeing the wrong within the seething rules of right
talking without pretense, finding a position of hope
dying into each other’s arms, retrieving souls
birthing downing heads into cupped heads
going into journeys without worrying about walls
Sunlight
often forgetting emptiness, forgiving ourselves into enthusiasm
letting in sunlight into bordered in children
igniting clarity to spaced out adults
allow for paper to be about stories and not stamped notices
enabling the knocks to be about visiting messages and not separation orders
Heartbeats
Igniting commonalities with naked music
Surprising the sky with concerts echoing over walls
seeeding small talk with words of twisty flavors
editing dialogue that separates seasons
giving away keep sakes of quivering heart beats
appearing into lives instead of encouraging disappearances
Steps
Desiring conversations across miles and borders
Exploring creaking bridges with new steps
Migrating courage into spaces of fear
Making offerings of vulnerability to arrogance
Clawing into lives, even across borders
Drawing ideas of the world
