Walls
protein jackets,
cell partitions,
membranes and pellicles,
all walls against
hungry otherness.
minds hid in boney boxes
keep a universe at bay
sipping tastes of real
through slippery threads.
We are
only because
of apart,
be separate
or unbecome.
Helices tumble,
cytoplasm diffuses,
organs dissolve and
blood rusts.
A you or me
of beating jelly
will glow to slow ashes.
Singularity.
Isolation.
Seclusion.
Loneli
nes

Ever better than
the impolite madness
of a million billion screaming suns.
