the wall between us

near mended,
i see him in his yard,
the old neighbor,
a slight
limp
in his gait, but still strong,
strong
enough
to set each stone upon
the wall
between us.
we wave and nod, 
but rarely speak, unless
spoken to.
keeping our distance,
our friendship
where it should be.
each of us
hardly known.
