an ink drop falling on dry paper
the sudden silence turned the sunrise dark
every wind gust projecting a vicious panther
the absence of your hand on frozen skin
crumbling, shivering with hugged legs
awaiting the buzz of salvation
But the sun was always there behind my hands, covering my eyes
and humans generate their own heat

Placed in the land of titans
I fled as fast as I could
Lost, unfed,
wandering mountains and rivers
Hidden from heaven
I lay to rest, weakening
Protected from friend or foe
While unseen mouths satiate in the dark
Soaked through the bone
Rain hammers the land
erasing every mark
leaving no path for hope

Lightning strikes rising smoke.
Ash leaking into a shack,
filling my sight
Coughs echo on the mountain.
Every breath traps warmth,
holding me still

why would i check the weather in august?
the searing sun on my skin turns into cool sweat in the breeze,
shutting my eyes in emptied fields of wheat.
among the cicadas there's your heartbeat,
pulling me up to the sky.
my desolate farm falling from view,
as lush mountains take its place.
when i land, the silence is sudden.
my bare feet buried in white
freezing over to keep you out
shivering in the summer snow
