you left me dyin’

the land turned red with blood, bathed

bad thoughts flow downstream

*

I breathe smoky air

pollutin’ us from the start

not state of the art

*

my body buried

beneath the earth decay, I

collect vestiges

*

our ashes are raked

scattered in four directions

no chance to rebuild

*
