i am earth
i see with
lenses in
the men
my blood
runs in them
the trees
they are
hair on
my skin
such
bright greenery
once
but i have
been naughty
shaving it
here, there
everywhere
to give myself
a smoother look
planting things
in their place
to make me
feel good
look good
trying
all things
hoping
to gain
immortability
now, have i
been wrong?
i see
the sky
growing
darker
a part
of me
lacerates
soon
to disfigure
me
blood
running
down
my physique
part
of my
skin
turning
so dry
it cracks
and the men
the men
and my eyes -
they would see
no more!
