Drag your memories underground
So you can’t see them again.
Pretend they are buried
Like your cat
From when you were 8.

They are decomposing
Fractions of silent grain
Waving in the wind
On a cold summer day.

These shifting layers
Each creates bedrock.
Your feet shake
Between the colliding moments in time.

Compressed weakness
Controlled desire
Complete lack of emotion.

You no longer remember
What’s invisible
A new brain

Grieving for a death that never happened,
Wishing for a place I have never seen,
and longing for a beauty
thats always been in disguise.

You've dealt me a hand of empty cards.
the rules are now unclear
so I fold
underneath the uncertainty.

Compressed air
drains through my knee caps.
Whispers from an explosion
stamped with fear.

I'm searching for my finger print
across the shadows.
A delicate balance
playing hide
in
go
seek
with my senses.

I have never yearned more
for this completeness.

Please show me the way.
