It feels like
I haven't left
the soil of
my past
because I've
been
sitting in the dirt
for the past 3 days
trying to
blaze
the scars off my feet
bottoms
but it only makes
the branding
seep down to my roots

and the sunshine on
the pond
reflects only on
the enlarged
pupils of your
pooling
eyes

I'm still
saying
my goodbyes
