Silent Walls


They stand 

At same spot I saw them yesterday

Though the wind has been cold and biting

Though the sun has briefly made her way across the four sky

They stand 

At the same spot I leant on them yesterday

Though their shadows have grown and rotated around their base

Though more of us lean on them now hanging our distress on their slick facades

What confessions

Would they have heard

In sunny afternoons as they stand with neither a frown nor a smile not even a shrug 

Or may be they chuckle

Inside their concrete hollows

at the ephemerality of those who lean on them

to cry and vow and pass by.
