Our Wall
I’m on the other side of your wall
But this wall, this side of the wall
Was built by me
I didn’t work to tear your stones down
Instead I reinforced them with mortar of my own
One stone to start
Then another
Now we are forever
On either side of this wall
Each of you and I, in shadows
The wall too high to climb,
Too thick to knock down
I wish to climb the wall, to walk the line
To look down to each side and
See no ignorance, no further stones
But here I stand moments later
Your side higher and mine
Abandoned.
