These Walls

I’ve patched up many holes in my walls
And painted over them several times.
Succumb to the horizontal view from a
Bed where old wounds are easily forgotten.
Yet when daylight shifts up and down
Through those blinds
It shines light
On these things.

The easiest way to bury the past is to
Do nothing; for nature compounds itself.
Rain, wind, and time will settle
Over our wounds and conceal them.
It may take a year, a generation, a century,
But you will forget.

It is by our frantic efforts to make those
We have wronged forget our crimes,
Those, they are bound to remember,
Duly, as the sun rises.

Which is as it should be.
