Two Steps Back . . .
Plant me deep
stomp on this slumbering earth
bleed moonlight in measured increments
starve me for sunlight and
you
smite all possibility of growth from this deprived soil
~~~~~~
Close your heart
and
hear with your head
what the music sings to your dead bones
~~~~~~
Imagine humid earth dormant
rested
vacant
starved
begging your strength
~~~~~~~
Restless me
running free
lost and asleep
dreaming
of screaming
