Of tall glinting steel walls
Pitched against walls of horror
Of a horror beneath the walls
crawls
And a plague creeps up taller
and taller.
Of walls staring at walls
Screaming from a distance,
The tale and the teller alike
the walls
The walls alike their stories,
Parted by worlds,
Screaming at the other,
Screaming for the other
Never halting
Never moving
Wailing and wishing to outrun the
space
And outlive the skies
Taller and taller they grow
The horror crawls still,
The plague creeps still
Succumb into themselves,
exhausted
Or enraged, would they engulf the
world,
Like they did their makers, and
their horrors
Their horrors screaming from a
distance
Screaming at the other’s,
Screaming for the other’s
And their makers parted by
worlds
Never reaching,
Never moving,
And yet, never halting
