Isolation
Yes: I’m in my cage.
“freedom”
I shouted from the walls on the hill.
The echoing voice laughed shrill
Ee dumb
Ee dumb
Ee dumb
“leave alone!” cried the stones.
“The stars are too far,
And the moon’s
Not around
As the clock calls us all to lunch
And eats us.”
The bugs giggle in the grass,
But the snake is stern.
A breeze passes through and is gone
From my soul.
It leaves me staring at the stones
All alone but together,
Building the walls of my cage on the hill.
