here inside these new walls

considerable weight
burdens our frail shelter
of stored up tranquility
and borrowed mortar

measurable times
sullied by crafty pirates
of solid amorality
and furrowed brows

i stand not to shroud it
i stand not to pretend
i see some pretense of purity
and the walls crumble
to be raised again?
"perhaps," said the vassal
but then the house will
always be just a house
and never again
a castle

adt

short hills, nj
