HURL
There’s the wall
Run to it and
Hurl yourself against it
Again and again and again
Don’t waste it
Til you’re completely bruised and battered
Til you fall to the ground all spent and splattered
Here’s another
Throw yourself at it too
Like a long-lost friend
Back from world’s end
Wrap your arms around it
Again and again and again
Don’t relent
It’s like that
When your child spurns your love
Doesn’t give what you give back
Ranks you fifth in a line-up
Of the usual suspects
Leaving you feeling like
All the years
All the tears
Were for nought
My heart now a Gordian knot
Makes you wanna curl
And.
Just.
Hurl.
