Tap-tap, knock-knock, bang-bang,
the forerunners to a good scream,
retire to the shade of an old oak tree
and make as if dead in the dirt
for life has supped on intense energy
and broken the bones of the matter.

Beckon they do to a harboured scream
but this just a tool with no point
can’t access the will to rent the air
for lack of desired outcomes
and so the door, the heart of it all,
stands still as an oaf smug and secure
in the knowledge of own importance.

But behind, behind, love lies behind
that solid and staid façade
or is it inside, deep, deep, inside
the core of the once alive
because I believe (unless I’m deceived)
there’s always a push for the better
building up muscle and need
to allow me, allow me, my dream!
