Inexpensive Mortar

The air not right tonight 


City skyline's peppered


in a monsoon of sad verses


as Naruda weeps from the


heavens and I from memory



 


The very thought of existence


within the flock-Charmed by


a little girl's smile and two


Revolutionary heirs with


Masons for guardians



 


Brick by brick walls built


that encompass and ultimately


divide-Large partitions fortified


in denial cornerstoned with


superficial comprimise.



 


Souls stand ground


while hearts give in to


the mind's trickery-Cheapening


a friendship one brick


at a time

Pablo Neruda, up there, where the condor can't reach are having a chuckle about you weeping from memory, but he would sure appreciate the sadness inside the words, the smile of that little girl and the masons with dirty hands from work.
The feelings and the metaphor go hand in hand.

This is a piece that lingers long after reading, quietly calling one to account. I like it very much.
