crack open the earth and we’d all tumble in lost in dirt
Tag: fantasy
our hands are mist separating the night and seas
we bury the moon each night and it grows through our ribs
when the flame forgets it’s a flame will the wax harden with vengeance
roots clutch earth like a body that knows its grave
saltwater dreams somewhere a bird forgets its wings
there is no darkness only flesh pretending to be alive
we too are seeds waiting for wildfires to cremate us
when machines sleep they dream of trees swaying gently in the autumn breeze
the dawn interrupts itself and the colors come crashing into bones
