Portcullises


As I was channel surfing,
         I realized
                  There wasn’t anything on,
                           Except a bunch of boring
                                    Documentaries about drills

 There’s solace in the mark of sound
         And a fade is sure to follow
                  Brittle’s become the charm of man
                           Breaking before the break began

Grey, the darkening of alabaster walls
         White, the abused metaphor of purity
                  Red, stands for life yet also death,
                           But it is dark and I cannot see
The pronation
Of my own hands
Gates, doors
Turning keys
The locks adjust
Tourniquet
 Portcullises of the past reset
