It’s a drawing of a tree with a root-hand

Drawing of a tree with roots resembling a hand ✋🏼

All my eyes are open
My lurching steps tap the pavement
A vision of beauty
Piercing melancholy
Calling infinity
Sensing sacred

Dark fruit to feed my soul
She gets so hungry

Seasonal highs that reach for the sky
Shade from the sun
That eats up the world
A present to me
& past to the future

Thorns under blossoms
Guarding their treasure
Watching them die
Spurs in the snow banks

With seasonal cries
In mourning they lie
By morning they’re dry

I’m happy for you
Suffering comes in waves
Tides that pulled us together
Waves that pushed us apart

A little break in the storm
Peace in your heart
Sadness too
Bones that ache & whisper
That everything is war

Some are worth fighting
Peace of mind on the battleground

Barely legible but the text on the painting is:
- just sleep
- the fight is — forever
- I’m so right
- wait I’m wrong
- there must be more
- fuck your email
- a bad mood
- your life is money
- this is normal
- exit

There’s so much that can’t be said. That won’t be heard, or seen, or read.

It’s nothing that would do us good. If I told to you exact, a hardly interesting fact.

Shattered pieces wrapped in napkin fill my heart. It’s awfully hollow in here without it. An act that can’t be followed.

In a perfect daze
Darts all day on the porch
Splayed out on paper, laid up in bed

Crossing the street today
Before I get home, I’m not far away

Where I leave a part-of-me
is still time for memory
To make or to lose again
Tea with honey, a good lunch alone
…

‘Remember me, as you knew me, keep me alive.’

Maybe too much weight for any sentient life to bear. Inevitable as a the wind of a swallow’s wing that fells a tree, home to thousands of generations. …oops.

A bad mood.
Go to bed, & fuck off.
Sweet dreams, I’ll catch you at the next ritual event, we all dread.
☠️🦧💼
I’m happy, are you?
Do we have lying in common, or are souls unshaken. Or mental illness exists. Endless possibilities!
