Beyond the Fence

Beyond the fence lies green, grass green

And brown, bark brown, and blue, lake blue

Beyond the fence there can be seen

Those people kneeling as birds coo

They plant a sapling, and they say

“Another tree, another day!”

They never look behind, those blessed souls

And see me standing, neglectable

They see not cracks, they see not holes

And I am a crack, invisible

My face is home to words and art

Time attacks me, I fall apart

But why do I complain at all?

Their realm is trees. I’m but a wall.
