into a dark overgrown jungle
pushing past awkward and wild
to where the truth lies
rooted deep

from the blistering sun
as leaves begin to fall away and

damp mounds
dormant and unruffled
waiting for a familiar face to
burn them on the alter
and appease the gods
applying the salve
soothing the ache
that gnaws
like a fungus
mushrooming
white circles on the lawn.
