Wooden Walls
His love
was like termites
and her heart
was made of wood.
Swarms flooded
through the walls,
leaving tunnels of mud
on the foundation
and maze like designs
through the structure.
The ceilings are left buckling
and the damage is costly.
But nothing is permanent;
the pests can be forced out
and the walls can be repaired.
