The grass is greener
On the hill of a graveyard
Feeding off the dead
                                                                                                                         two
The air is cleaner
In a ****** city of smog
Getting choked to death
                                                                                                                         three
She felt more alive
When She was trying to die
Than when She could walk
                                                                                                                         four
The path is clearer
Highlighted by smoke and dreams
Fresh to be beaten
                                                                                                                         five
He found life's meaning
When His hands were in the dust
Fingernails *****
                                                                                                                         six
She saw that His World
Would soon be blown far away
Off to greener grass
                                                                                                                        seven
They died together
She, acknowledging the truth.
He, stabbing at lies.
A collection of Haiku. Each can be read separately, but together, it is something entirely different.
