cut down
two bridges and the town.
Cut loose
every heart and string I have held.
Broke
everything I should have kept
who am I anymore?
Dropped the scent of hate
and lust for the power of bending fate.
Shredded the pieces of your memory.
What little left we cover in filth.
Raise your head, for sinners know
we are not alone
Never was
never will be
Gone with the wind the night should bring.
see tears covered in sharp spears.
This my dear I hold
the deal the devil gave to me.
Mocked the angels so high and ******.
Great minds don't collaborate.
they negotiate
I cut
*you out

bone...
clicking..
fine china flicking..
cracking, shattering..
greenstick fracture..
stalk, greengrass  waving, growing, changing, cutdown
fine inscision, muscle, mulch
resow, regrow meld together
memories flow, memories flow
bone
clicking, aching, rasping,
shaking
back bone pointing, picking
etching time.
line by line...
until the callous grows

Trampled
I will rise
Cutdown
I will re-grow
Scorched
I will survive
Chewed
I will nourish

I am the meadows
I am the fields
I am your children’s playground
I am your yoga mat
I am the oxygen you breath

I am grass
