Head Shakes

And she lived for walls
of bricks built by head shakes.

They would smash egos
destroy dreams,
it was a lock unspoken,
which her passions
lusted to seal
over every mind
that wanted,
demanded
or abused her hopes.

Then she met
the one she needed,
dreamt would bring her clouds,
only he just twisted his melon,
suddenly her shake lover
wasn’t as beautiful
as she once believed.
