Monstrous Stones

Monstrous stones

created the now

legendary wall,

riddled with hairline cracks.

Beyond on

either side?

No one really knows.

It’s all hearsay as of now.

The wall had

been built for

reasons honestly

no one can remember.

But there’s a

damn good reason—

each individual

is damn sure.

Rain has fallen

upon the wall.

snow has gathered

too.

Even lightning—

struck it once.

Fuck, at one point

children set the growing

vines around it

on fire.  Just for

play. 

The upkeep alone

is exhausting for

All parties

involved. 

But it’s worth it—

to fucking feel safe.

It’s worth it not

to see the other side;

what if something unpleasant

appeared?

Knocking

down the wall

could potentially

end the fear.

I fear it

will not

ever

end.
