Walls

Here the walls are silent

these white faces have naught to reveal.

By degrees when these placid,

pallor laced paints peel off like dry unwanted skin,

you find only dull cement.

Tell them stories; of forgotten childhood and discarded dreams,

they console with astounding stillness.

Nail them till rubble spurts out and hits your eye

like squirting blood of enemies.

They will not whimper or wail a dying wish.
