return in pieces, return to He violet grasses envelop me breathing waiting leeching breaking prism-fractal forest floor seeded ancient, resisting blight shadows cast infinite light... ...a medium dampened by the night hold my hand as i regress violent, devoid lack sense, selfless i, you dig relentless grasses sense the scent of blood glasses within parcels, platters broken glass, shattered and scattered you are glimmering, ghastly, strange, all you are is selfish, vain glass grows underneath my skin underneath my skin is pain
often did i call for help, never did it make a change never did the music stutter never did i share my pain mader, madre, magdalene you scour and scorn a thorn’d gaze you hurt and make joyous exclaim, then grimly cast infinite rain.
