Last Stand

January 11, 2024

Today I am here to talk about my gate

built for nobody to come in.

The unwelcomed, the unwanted, the uninvited


The wind blew past me 

The rain crossed over the line.


The rat dug under me as a rainbow grew over me

The chicken went around me as I grew angrier

While the bird decided to fly over me


As I grow older and my body rots weaker

I continue to fail and let things across my way

 

Solitude found in Owen Gromme's "Gate" (1927)
