Unforgiving Walls (The Fly Saw Hope)
by James Blaylock
Unforgiving Walls (The Fly Saw Hope)
listen as the walls scream
out so loud and endlessly,
they're so unforgiving for all
they have seen and known,
for theirs was the sightliness of
so much nastiness, all drowning...
but there was a twinge of small hope
all within the seeing eye of a single fly
