The Wall

Hush Hush, hear me love

Through the wall, Push closer 

Look at my eyes through the cover 

Kiss my sight with your lips 

Speak to me Thisbe, through the bricks 

Stretch your hand and I'll stretch mine

We can love each other until mulberry ferments into wine

What can I ever change 

To meet you again, I'll myself build this cage

Quick quick, say something love 

Through the crack, fill my spirit

Kill the silence through the air 

Open the gates to the flowing Styx

Speak to me Thisbe, through the bricks 

Stretch your voice and I'll stretch mine 

We can meet here like water under god's eyes 

The branches of brutality cement the pieces 

Mortals, mere mortals against fates, the gods speak

So much to push and pull before the flood grips

Before the dark shadows build it higher than the mounts of worship

Can't bust it open like the box that contained disease

Thus now hope dangles like Babylon and its trees 

Daggering us through thorns of roses into walls

Fixing us like a saint that's yet to walk

My dear, fly to me like a bird 

And perch on my lips 

Stay with me and I will wish

That the walls fall into autumn crisp 

As wax collapses around it's wick
