mortar





keep building your walls, but know that one day they will fall

far as your childhood
long as the future
quiet as a photograph
angry as a hail storm
brief as a compliment

and no one will notice

  1. Each line of this says about a million different things. I love it. So simple yet so complex.

  2. "brief as a compliment" has so much depth to it... It's such a tragically beautiful line. Wow I love this.

  3. Nelsonnnnn..... This is straight fire. I've been considering being a teacher and I finally listened to the film festival mix tape and the poem "What teachers make" pushed me over the edge. It was the shiz.Tell Rhonda I've got dibs on your job when you retire.
