every crevice
tracing white
of the lonely earth;
rock and bone
entwine
in the eyes of
acanthine leaves
all starved in newborn
waves; losing or death
if we never
fall nor dream
and we sit
on branch’s bone,
and dream’s death,
it gives us an offbeat sparrow
while we, mourning our oceans,
see the mind
that makes
the root of madness
or rock,
we could never
fall together.

I got myself a core message out of this:
if we never
fall nor dream
if we never
see the mind
that makes
the root of madness
we could never
fall together.
I think I’ll be integrating this in the post I’m writing just now, it’s brilliant! Thanks for sharing 😊
