Removal
I touch thy skin, I feel thy air,
I grasp thy hand, and hold tight,
To the weight of your life.
You welcome the past
as a dear friend, as it knocks
So heavily, it knocks to ensure
its prescence. To remind thee
of nature, and of life, and how it
swings and sways and dances.
But for thou, deaf noise of
happiness and joy are all
that is heard. For the past can be
neglected, and the future is foreseen.
And as I hold so tight to thou life,
I foresee the neglect of the beauty of nature
of thou life. For a path has been divided. And
As I hold so tightly, I touch thy skin, I feel
thy air, I grasp thy hand, and feel removal
from life itself. For the weight of your life
has gone feeble. Now I bore the weight of
Guilt and seek its removal, nevermore,
nevermore.
