Poem: Closed

 

Closed

 

drainpipe ears pour a runoff of words

down the wall of a shaking head 

onto feet that just walk off.


folded arms construct a bridge impassable to questions.

the slightest shrug of a bulkwark of shoulder 

chews on a pretty wing.


a single twitch of cheek taunts flutters of hope.

maybe there is some emotion here, some reaction to pollinate?

but no.


small as nerve cells, stronger than any logic, 

years of architecture, so much hunger behind it,

hollows out the ability to think.
