It was void less on the dead tree branch, or what was once something reaching for the heavens but now it is rootless. Digging into the earth, like a tombstone of remembrance entwined in razor wire                                                                woes. It was cur once, now it is cut upon even in death, every breath of life the world temps                            it with just cuts deeper. And the onyx crow, just perches on it.              silent, it just gazes at the others neatly put into shallow graves of despair. They are naked for all to see, for all to gaze upon.      stripped of decency. Shallow graves tease as though they wish to flourish, roots are dismembered. But where the branch fell, where the dismembered remanence ****** of self horizontal.            When a tree falls no one hears it... When the now guillotined life falls,         it fell upon its executioner..    In the woods now one hears you fall.. They bleed into the wood, the egg that hadn't hatched now cracked open, a chick will no longer              fly high but sit on this deathly stripped void. Every now and then, when I look out my window,          I see the field, and a crow with gapping vision. And a silhouette of someone.... There neck arched and a smile crocked,                  as if to say this is a coffin above ground.. And there slowly rotting in the earth that took                                        them all... When a tree falls, when the leaves are stripped bare,              only the bones show, and it like those before are just images of what fell when they decendedly silenlty.

When A Tree Falls, Silence Is Nothing
It was void less on the dead tree branch, or what was once something reaching for the heavens but now it is rootless. Digging into the earth, like a tombstone of remembrance entwined in razor wire                                                                woes. It was cur once, now it is cut upon even in death, every breath of life the world temps                            it with just cuts deeper. And the onyx crow, just perches on it.              silent, it just gazes at the others neatly put into shallow graves of despair. They are naked for all to see, for all to gaze upon.      stripped of decency. Shallow graves tease as though they wish to flourish, roots are dismembered. But where the branch fell, where the dismembered remanence ****** of self horizontal.            When a tree falls no one hears it... When the now guillotined life falls,         it fell upon its executioner..    In the woods now one hears you fall.. They bleed into the wood, the egg that hadn't hatched now cracked open, a chick will no longer              fly high but sit on this deathly stripped void.
