Depending On Me

Disconnecting tragedy 
you live again, 
in myths 
and illusions.

The grit. You lack the spine.
Rocks.
A slide.
The chicken.

The cow-pathway 
leads to a barn of a mud hut, 
where you stand every evening 
to welcome the hoofs dust.

That tells the history, 
the pain of unknowing,
revealing the name 
of a killer.

There was silence 
interrupted by a shriek.
Someone was rising 
from the grave.

The inert things start moving.
