All my life is heading overboard.
They didn't know me and they'll never know.
All their eyes are peering down at me,
Sinking in.
****
Chin up as the ground swallows me.
I could see their souls crying.
Pulled in slowly so the pain hurts,
Hitting home.

All our dissonance has cracked the Earth
In attempt to separate us,
So that it can catch a break from this
Din again.

I'm headed back toward the black,
And they don't know what's going on.
I falling out. My body's feed;
The trees are hungry.

I am not broken.
They'll learn again to make everything alright.
****
I'm headed down into embers.
Flinging fire is a new trick.
Learning all of the secrets
From the core.

And so I left the subsurface
To sow seeds into their minds.
All my trees have met the saw blade's
Cold steel bite.

All my tears have blown down wind,
Caught a happier ending.
I wanted for just one seed to
Come alive.

All these lies are left on board;
I hope they know me to an extent.
All their eyes are pinning me down as
Philistine:
Irony.
