The Shadows Our Homes Cast
The texture of our homes,
Of our bodies.
Our lives.
Reflected outward.
Our shadows,
Our wholeness comprise
The comfort
Within these walls,
Hidden within
Void of external laws
How I could stay here
Refracted back.
A mirror.
Extended beyond
A fear.
A shadow so long
Lights guidance seer.
These walls we hide
Behind our mind
Our bodies, a structure
A force field
We define.
Let down your walls.
Build bridges
Not borders
Our own asylum
Our own amnesty
To offer.
Shine light on your home
Your body and mind
For within
And
Without
Connection defined.
