A Sculpture Of Human Stone

you are outside
and i watch you,

this glass wall
between us

i make it. I am
safe.

the heart screams
in silence.

unknown by you
i bleed.

this is the best
arrangement that nature
has designed for us

i only have to watch you
no amount of touch from my hands
can make you alive
