Its span so long my eye can’t reach
My piercing look fails to breach
The sturdy brick and stone layer
On Wailing Wall falls pilgrim’s prayer
It stares me down from high ground
My amazed look in silence so profound
I don’t know if it desires my mobility
As much as I envy its stability
And in falling sun my shadow risen
No dwarf as I lift over its prison
This one I see lies bare revealed
And one within myself remains concealed
This one my hammer can punch a hole
And one within, my emotions control
And as I remain within its bane
Each side lives a different insane
Matters not that it is so high
Its apogee still can’t clear the towering sky
And over it floats my zeppelin
And both sides of the wall were still Berlin
