Unfinished

Makoto Maruyama

Look at the wall of my house
There is not anyone’s face
Only white, clean wall
Like my spleen 
My favorite pictures on the wall
They also see me
“I’m glad to see you 
How are you?”
And then they also ask me
I don’t understand them any questions 
Eyes are the untamed fire
Prometheus gave us fire
So he is being punished by the gods
Still continue, never ending 
We must not put out this noble fire
J’ai l’ombre de moi-même

    yup, over time
    some see their walls
    get drowned out
    by all those cherished pictures
    fate, so fit - to gift
    and they, sometimes
    get overwhelmed,
    for fear
    of losing those blank surfaces
    which once represented,
    their individuality and opportunity for choice..
    the very Next door, another person
    who knows the morbid intimacy
    hidden in the word, solitude
    wonders, about all the choices
    that resulted
    in the barren state
    of those accusatory, walls
    cursing
    that flipped coin of ill-fate...
    (a great read
    thanks for sharing, dear poet)
