There's a woman's umbrella and a noose. Within a sea of trees that stand like shadows. Haunting the souls that venture inside, yet innocent enough to not be blamed.
A mirror left opened on the mulch of leaves. It hasn't been broken unlike whose ever it was. Reflecting the souls that venture inside, yet innocent enough to not be blamed.
Tape is wrapped across all the branches. “If you follow, you are bound to find something at the end.” Leading the way for the souls that venture inside, yet innocent enough to not be blamed.
Suicide forest; a place for troubled faces. A car left abandoned, a tent flapping in the breeze. The final home of the souls that venture inside, yet what is guilty enough to be faced with the blame?
A poem inspired by "Suicide Forest", or "Jukai" meaning "Sea of trees" in Japaese, at the base of Mt Fuji in Japan. This is a really interesting documentary about it if any one is interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FDSdg09df8
