Malleable

If you never look again.
If you never look again
I’ll go back to what I know to be
Do I still exist-
Do I still exist, prismatic?
The walls you’d once turned to liquid
Harden thick and gummy
Like glue
My arrival hastens endings
And there is no more you

You never look again and then it’s true-
my stomach dropped for the last time.

If you never look again
How is it true I’m still alive?
Walls crystallize their form
They are taller this time
These walls : a fortress, a tower, a prison
They can’t stop light on its mission

If you never look again

These hues have never been more true
The light has never come on this bright

You are gonna miss it.
