Cementing Relationships


CEMENTING RELATIONSHIPS


Seeking a concrete image
to convey
             a pre-stressed thought
I lay foundations
for a fettered space.

The blue-print fails
the structure
              falls
far short of my emotion.

Set in my ways,
unable to explore
               the breaking strain
my need will carry.

Construct a hermitage
of words;
              contain
a solitude
upon the pristine page.
