I see
double, pairs,
twins, couples.

yet

in the mirror,
I see one.
When you're going to share a post
and think
do I really care enough to share this post
and
what's the most it'll do for me?

Sunday in the cotton town
downstairs in my dressing gown
thinking
do I really want to go to work?
share and share alike
or rather
shirk and shirk I like
but no
keep to my routine
or I might wake up and find
that this has all been a dream.

I'll make breakfast
make it last until
lunchtime
which as chef says
is no time to be eating.

The dirt turned to memories
Stories that pulled the decades from the hills
And laid them out in the prayers and busted knuckles
Weathered hands turn to volumes
The hottest sweats of summer
The coldest winds of winter
Were rituals endured
What whittles away life
Sometimes need be loved



The land had taken him in
And together they had farmed
The solitude kept the humans untouchable
The hills became his lovers
Years turned over into decades
He did not know they were the last seeds
But the world had become a madness
It had exhausted his will
So he left it….to be his last harvest
In wanting you
  nothing else I'd need
on your love
I'll eternally feed
Cannibalistic mind
Seek and ye shall find
Think and ye shall die
Live, not on thy side
We are lit,

We burn,
We flicker,
We die.
I'm afraid we all burn up, some slower than others.
Mind warp.

Ever changing.
