Caught off guard (new poem)

Caught off guard

When I say bare walls of isolation

in a time that didn't call for a hanging

or a movement, then to hear

I was born that way, little accomplishment

can be preventative to tangled thoughts,

or undoing. 

He wrote poems on the wall with his own blood,

own or disown his body, living through shapes

if all things connect.

The dream to break loose is animal.

Given a name, then a lifetime to find 'you'.

The questions drop off into sentences.

Cheap talk creates holes .That's how it is

with the ground.
