The immense trees stood quietly
in the background, its shattered
leaves under clouds of confusion,
the wind rowing a reverberating
beat of broken blues beneath
it's sunken surface.  I stared at
its swollen symmetry and
tangled angles, the scars splintered
inside its core, the crushed dreams
drifting in loneliness.  I could feel
its inner presence sifting inside
my dimension, the disintegrating
thought of closed chambers
crashing sporadically within
my veins, the quivering faces
of frozen features, the cracked
skies upon the dead, the suffering
shadows lingering in a corridor
of thinning sounds.  The darkness
was slowly closing in as I gazed
into the horizon at the body of
blanched hues, stark screams
echoing across the sky, seeping
inside me as I inhaled each stroke of
pain pounding deep within my domain.
