WORD WORK: BUÍOCHAS

An invisible wall goes up

I construct
it around me
until I know where they stand


and add another thick
layer of brick

after another
once their apathy
ignorance and
bias is
clear

So I can focus my energies
on those I continue to hold dear
and will continue to hold onto
for dear
life
