stone walls

The glass walls were lonely

but I could see to the outside

I can say now that the glass walls are gone

they've turned to stone.


I can't feel them on the other side

I can no longer see the light.

It is no more a longing of vulnerability

It's a longing of freedom.


This isolation is freezing

I don't know how to do anything but smile

when I feel so low.

Damn my stone walls.


I trust very few

but I'll have to trust my memory

because joy is no longer visual

just what I know is on the other side,


a world and a mere foot away.
