have you

Have you ever listened to the growth of the grass

And felt exiled on this nobody-has-ever-heard-of island

Inside us?

Deep down the mountains

I once heard the obsessive tic-tac of time

Dispersed in the tumult of rocks.

Limbs of fire burnt my feet and legs

Smothering my veins to implosion,

And I started to melt and drag into the earth,

Feeling each and every pebble

Squeezed between my once-called teeth.

I tried to repeat to myself in obstinacy

That I could flow with the waters

Once again into the sky

And fall down with the rain

Feeding the grass growing giggling

Towards the decrepitude of the

Once infinite universe above.

But I got no response

As I forgot my echo

In the valley of tears.
