Just head east

I thought I was dying Smog Holy Electrifying Crumbling of leaves Beneath swollen knees Respite from Can you call it mind altering Succumbed by disease Leaking I devoured Aspects, hints of true Licking fingers Until they were cold and blue Full, chronological breaths Eruption Then the infite thawing I’d echo words spoken Between eroding teal beams The repition Slight hints at recognition I thought I was dying Forest turned Ash soaked air Would have taken anyone Yet you stood there
