A Word

Return
respect
Acknowledgement-
an indication of
consideration- was required
to move forwards, passing this
stagnant bog of wading.

Side to side off glances
of pushed out mouths and stretched out faces,

inside paces back and back races.

Reaching out for the moment of concrete to hold,
foundation remains
but bare
as drops of laughter  in dreams trickle down its sides
connecting opposites
showing images of
positivity
disturbed by it's non reflection:

no word
no response
nothing is silent
and the nothing is strong enough
to place another brick in the unstable foundation
wedging relation with questioning
repose for conceited feignings.
