I protect myself with iron
with chain-link, I defend myself
you may not breach the battlements
I do not consent
it’s safer that way
– for me –
I will not take the risk
I will not let you in
hemmed in isolation protects me
from the rest of you
I am still at my own mercy
the most destructive force of all

Ok, so what’s with that huge gear thing, is that part of the “fencing”?
Never-the-less, very interesting picture and poem to accompany it!
The big gear thing is part of a waterwheel 🙂
I’m glad you enjoyed it all!
Nice poetry.
Thank you 🙂
