Infatuation
Location
i am a mere inhabitant
in a constellation of chaos
and often times
i have a habitual inclintation
to escape from these walls
that harbor looming memories
and accept the world
as my own
when you left
you told me
that i was the woman
you wanted to spend the rest of your life with
and we never spoke again
that day i discovered
i am not only a body
and the earth does not belong to me
my transitory presence
is now dedicated to the land
whose dust is of bones
of those who have fallen
i will not succumb
for one day my soul can
fly higher than the tree tops
and the sea
will scrub away your last touch
the earth is the last remembrance
of times past
it is where
we lost people
come to find temporary peace
from boys with breath
that smelled like stale tobacco
