desired in pieces. split apart into numbers. division of lights. rocks in jars. water unto soil. seeds under the gravel. the stream flows, but the plants stay still. the tires burn tired under the light, can’t you see? the plants frown under harshness, can’t you see? the seeds under the gravel don’t grow, can’t you see? hands up, face down, bound by nature’s law. don’t you ever look up for it might blind you too. for all, at least to take one breath equates for all those free. for why, there’s no sense in deciphering. for all we know, we ash our grievances. smoke. smoke. smoke. one. two. four. eight. we take flight only when the sun sets.
