Distance

Fränz Müller

Yard by yard

Miles, distances without markers

Define our space, our bond;

Inch by inch

the stone-rows grow

Box-men and babies, spinsters and thieves

sense and covet, rattle and rage

that they should have the hurt, the hate

we feel, we live this day.

    That's quite a powerful and poignant write, nicely expressed

  • sorenbarrett

    Powerful and dark it speaks of death and pain of ground gained in a struggle, whether a battle literal or of life itself all comes to the same end. This was a very well written piece and a fave.
