Walls
The walls come closing in. One hand reaches upward. One hand reaches upward as the walls come closing in.
I keep waking. I keep walking. Turn the corner, pick up speed – dash under ground. Holding balance on the moving train. Taking in and pushing out.
Waking up and awaiting sleep again, relief again.
Beautiful city. Life in pursuit. Lightening dashes in, thunder approaches fast and the days keep pouring down. Drains fill and empty.
Noise and sleepless people, a thousand bricks and windows. A million hearts to mend, lives to fathom.
With so many, how could one feel alone? With so many doors, how could one feel the walls pressing in?
