it could be a brick wall aged by war
scratched by cat paws slinking by with
their whores jaunt
it could be mortar, ferns growing on
the wall like slap-face rebirth
true red gleams through rot and age
through watermarks
layered bits of pondscumhandsweatcalloused
skin
it could be a window, a doorway. a lighthouse on the shore.
