Anna Mae Angana - IN THIS WALL

IN THIS WALL



Inch by inch,

End to end

Your flat surface I feel

It’s somewhat rough

But hard as a sword of cipher.



I paste and paste

The papers that will make you glow

Piece by piece

I join you

To make you look colorful as the rainbow.



Day by day

You hide me from my misery,

You protect me from my enemy,

I may become a hag someday

But you’re always there to cover me.



My great wall, your sides comfort me.
