jericho

no matter how high i build them
those walls of indifference

they fall.
in ashes. in dust. in tears.

your voice

like the ones of a thousand men long ago

in that one
still moment.

brings them crashing down.

you don't have to say much
each word is already a chorus

each whisper
already defeaning.

you don't know how much you break me,
every. time. you talk.
