the power, the struggle
the veins, the muffle
the hawk floating below the clouds
the liquid falling out your mouth
the grass wedging between your toes
the stain in your teatherd clothes
the dead flowers thrown at the throne
the ring turning ur fingers green
the life of the lifeless machine
me in the green
me in the purple
me in the trace
me in the ruffle
me in the clear
I in the presence of fear
you
you
you
you
you
you, always just you
