Cotton-Acre Acorn
By Strataic
--With antlers
Breaking; broken
We're all-
Wonder; wandering
Through the glass
Forest where trunks
Reflect regret--
And leaves cut mistakes
Into scars.
We are deer,
Eating barb-tailing
Grass.
But I'm sorry
Antibiotic acorns
Aren't working anymore.
My pupil's seep,
Mercury in return.
When that feeling--
Attaches bed-linen
To stapling sharks,
They begin birthing

those consciences are one hell of a thing. eating down your shoulders so much. we find people in the wild where we can be ourselves and be free of those burdens. oh, the imagery is so beautiful in this. please, please keep writing. (:

consciences are a heavy burden to bear, as are the transgressions of our individual pasts... but with acknowledgment sometimes we also find acceptance... which can be a beautiful thing indeed. seeping scars and land sharks. i love the visceral veracity of this, the cutthroat imagery, and also the alliteration. ;) swell piece, lukemeister.

i also really appreciate the concussive rhythm of this. such a great attention to each tree without losing sight of the forest, if you will. :P really awesome, bro.
