I see the trees trying to grow large enough to leave this place. They were: Hand-Holding-Plants makinglovetopeace We are: as if statues building one another large enough to destroy themselves We are the wicked, making love to our sickness. and when wicked is the eye of the beholder we build a great and terrible machine around us which we call Us. It is the shaking scared skeleton of a forest rotting away from a place which beauty built in it's sleep. the motion picture of the horror sequence of our mind. The world bleeds out the fire of man Born inside a seraphim skin we abuse and build death around our bodies in connected piles on the ground. waiting calmly. coming in for the **** an anthill vacated and caved in until everything is finally quiet and still. you can not grow skin on a mausoleum and wait for it to breathe. while you sit and you wait your own skin will leave. when nothing is left to die, in that time; no one is left to grieve.

the ocean cries in plastic bottles and drowns
