Poem: Closed

 

Closed

 

drainpipe-ears pour a runoff of words

down the sides of a shaking head,

until feet just walk off.


folded arms construct an impassable wall. 

the slightest shrug of a bulkwark of shoulder 

shoos an opportunity to sing.


a twitch of cheek taunts flutters of hope.

maybe there is some color underneath, 

some vim or jest or verve? ... ... 


...


stronger than logic, small as a nerve cell, 

bricks of gray architecture

imprison the ability to think.
