These Walls

Mike Brennan

These walls will leave me tomorrow
but in their place
more will be built

Four corners worth of dreams
heart-aches, head-aches, hangovers
& every single hang-up
. . . gone . . .

But their legacy will continue
& burst through the ceiling that one tends to place
over all of
our values, faiths, and properties
despite all the prophecies
that we are at our best when
reduced to nothing

We ask. . .

What is nothing when it is gone?

Your heart-beat?
Your will?

If only to pen a glorious elegy
for the solitary slips of memory
that keep us level with those who are newly born

& of course, those who discover
that we really are
only just skipping stones
swallowed somewhere
along the shallow pond
surrendering to that age-old process
that we all. . . call. . . dying.
