Words from the Ground

May 17, 2024
By Anonymous

Moonlight filters through webs of branches and leaves

Reflecting on the ponds

Mirroring the lights in my eyes 

I wait for the ground to consume me 

The vivid night sky above mocks my size

But when I’m fully buried 

My skull won’t be preserved

My heart will go undiscovered

My veins will weave themselves with the roots of flowers

And I will no longer sing in the shower

But I will sing with the rodents and insects instead

This was my first poem after not writing poetry for four years, and I'm pretty proud of it!
