IN THIS WALL
Inch by inch,
End to end
Your flat surface I feel
It’s somewhat rough
But hard as a sword of cipher.
I paste and paste
The papers that will make you glow
Piece by piece
I join you
To make you look colorful as the rainbow.
Day by day
You hide me from my misery,
You protect me from my enemy,
I may become a hag someday
But you’re always there to cover me.
My great wall, your sides comfort me.
