2/30 Living Dead

To all those who reach this earth decomposing, May you reenter this planet with vivacity Run free with the sparkle of life. I hunger to hunger as deep as you To never cease To have a penetrable mind To understand the curves of my body do not restrict my movement I will move past the bend in my spine The arch of my foot The joints in my arms I will run faster than my legs can carry me To the army of open arms, You spread harmony among the masses We are equal in your eyes I will become instinct and reaction I will be the flight to your fight You have given us wings. To you who have returned against “never” May you prosper on this ancient land you’ve left You beacon of hope to those of us with forgotten dreams And broken promises You are the exception, and therefore the healer May we hold on to the hope this brings us May we too break rules and skew pattern. Thank you, you the soldiers of woe Clearing the path of the heavy weights on our souls The sickness before the health And the parting do us death
