DISCOURSE OF THE WALL IN APARTMENT E

the wall speaks no ill

against blasphemies unveiled by tongues

that night

where palm touched cheek

in sheer fascination of friction

that was meant for groins



like cement patching a hole,

the wall tenders no resentment

to a view skewed

by a dichotomy of views

as summer will never house a single snowdrop

even if it keeps it in a cup



the wall though,was mindful of details

such as the impolite passion that opened our wounds

like a perfectly stitched zipper

slithering into a downward trail

each teeth slowly detaching

into jazzy interludes

of doubtful claims and recited movie dialogues



the case was pressed upon us



the wall holds us in contempt

for the construction of barriers was never

for you and I to claim
