spare a year

You know the load.

For heaven or hell,

Children free from
Talking but playin'

Worm n tree outside,

See me, see me
I showed you my
Age

Little life

Calamity gathering gross ghosts on the floor
Fixative of off beat burdens, grow mighty
Fall fleeting ghost river meaning we
Not an uncompromising musk
Greeting the years away

Falling fasting feeling most others are others
Meeting another great escape twisting up
Monuments to the last place we were
Wondering, waiting for the never-
Mind of place in place of shade
Gave up the gaze ought not
Fought, got meanings to
Fit fully still empty
Out where we
Least of all
Know
