Out of the Moment

Up on the hill, where the grass grows yellow
And two streets meet; Never colliding
Sits a wall
Bricked to the eye, and wood thereafter,
The cracks weaving a picture
Of a hopeless future, made of the discarded

This is her wall.
The girl with the tangled hair
Camouflaged by the dust from the face
Rusted eyes peer out from the untamed bangs

Back on the streets
Daily bustle; daily sounds
A coin falls onto the ground
Clattering with renewed intensity
As it hits the drain.
She screams.

She cowers on her bricks
Yet the commoners fight each other
Pushing and shouting
Till they run into her wall
Till they run into her
Terrified of their touch and the pain it brings
She cries

Back on the streets,
They taunt her
Laughing at the unbrushed hair
The unkempt clothes
Unprovoked screams
Tear covered face

Settled into isolation
Forever on the brick and wooden wall
Where the yellow grass grows
Hidden from society
Sits the girl of tangled hair.
