7xx7 - The Mae Shi

They were 40 years old

The doubted had ceased

And they’d have to for this

To take our homes the walls

The very pride of our city

We’d approach the city at dawn

Everyday that week for a single jaunt around the city

We’d travel seven times and on the seventh time times seven

To displace their belief in safety

To disrupt ours of obtaining

So carry out quietly

Solemnly, the fate of this city

Shh

So I kneel focused, reverent to

The cleansing of this body

I lap the water seven times upon my back

The faucet roars

My arms disconnect

My skin unintact

This body wants something

These walls they hold nothing
