The chiselled fortress (poem)

I know a man who’s building bridges,
bridges built from cobble stone.
Connecting sea and mountain valley,
to the place he calls his home.

A fortress reaching through the distance
to a sun that never settles down.

It appears to never quite be ready
as the tick-tick of his hammer’s sway.

He never stops to ask and wonder
what he’s actually building for.

There is just the tick-tick of his chisel
and the hidden place he calls his home.

Someone should give this man a cat
’cause cats when they are hungry,
will weep and cry for hours on end,
’til they’re eating at your doorway.
