Concrete.
Like the bones that hold us steady.
Ravaging through the trees, their roots thicker than his hand when it meets
your face.
Language.
Words that don’t follow the tongue, and
eyes that won’t stare back.
You are glistened with the fear of
loneliness, and the need of human touch swells.
Never.
Never will this anxiety become anything for
the positive.
Shaking away the rattling of hands against
wrists, wrists against more useless bones.
I am not bleeding.
I am not fleeting from this. I am here.
Simply standing against this tide of
confusion and hatred that comes with living.
Me. I am living.
Not through others but underneath the
weight of these trees.
Their roots, thick with lust and the crazed
notion that humans no longer have value.
We beg to differ.
But we will fall soon.
And so will the trees.
I guess it’s a race against the clock, who
can populate this earth faster than the other.
I am here. Second guessing loving looks and
redirecting underestimated words that have no meaning.
But because I am in search for something
meaningful, because I am looking for more than what my heaving chest can offer,
I will over analyze.
I will give you the benefit over a sinking
chest cavity any day.
In hope that this feeling of rotting flesh,
will find stability in its decay.
