Brick and Mortar
I’ve come with Brick and mortar To repair the fortress of my soul, Torn down by harsh-spoken words, By these guilty and bleeding hands, I pile brick on crooked brick, Building upwards, Upwards, Up, Around, around, around Around, No doorway through which to pass. Walling myself in, Walling others out. This is my climax creation, My jail cell And my home, My anguish, And my comfort, My turmoil, And elusive peace. |
