Grow

Sing me to sleep, you 
Siphon of morning terrors.

Puh-Pound on my door,
Break the lock I fixed with such clever fingers.

How far can I push you until I smash into countless crystalline shards of ash-dust?

Test my limits. Take the drug of self-intoxication.
Of other-destruction.

Touch the curling, unfurling, glistening green of a life-fresh blade.
See the sun glow right through its veins, framing delicacy with warmth.

See me walking backwards, one delicate footstep at a time.
See my un-future, unfurling into freshness.

See me glow.
