Verklempt
i stand here
on these unpaved roads
kicking up dust
as i stumble
over rocks
castaway
like me
i watch
as you walk
away from the scene
like a hawk
in a tree
i am
unseen
i stand here
listening
to the flow
of the stream
the bird
in the distance
beginning to scream
i gather my thoughts
fragmented inside
alone in the dark
no sun through these trees
i stand here
listening
to the whispering breeze
my lips
as they quiver
unable to speak
i see the storm
approaching
above
all around
i drop to my knees
atop of this ground
i lie here
awaiting
the sun to arise
i lie here
alone
with tears
in my eyes
i lie here alone
unable to speak
