fulfilled but lifeless
neglected, and discontinued
they move closer to the ruptured but flawless,
gratified but exanimate
cherished and continued
life within the forest, the life surrounded by a stronghold of bark
a slight crunch of the wooden skinned debris,
fulfilled but deceased
abandoned and transforming into something very similar to
their pacing which was not to be heard by any intellectual life nearby,
as the skeletons walked around the tree.

they move closer to the ruptured but flawless,

a slight crunch of the wooden skinned debris,

abandoned and transforming into something very similar to
their pacing which was not to be heard by any intellectual life nearby,
as the skeletons walked around the tree.
