What Lies Beneath

Death shrouds each
ancillary moment
Pain lashed without reason
A blind game against the sun

Humans turn against dirt
Where they search
Thoughtless configuration
My sense
Of cryogenic soul hovering

Imbuing fluids, mystery without expression
And creasing against
The wind of ideas
My only source of direction

When you speak germane
Fertilizer falls out
With no patience
To encircle the pants
You left trailing behind

Instead a tumor grows
Simultaneously banished
And buried under the surface
Without recognition
