Unfamiliar ways..

In the space sliding of a nameless burn

My degraded past and revolting chattels sob

Sketching reality into lasting trace

For my spirit to sink in this bitter survival.

Can you recall the regal cloud of my smile?

The mistake made by your dense remains

To banish me from my bare actuality,

The agony to escape and hide in mystery.

I wish I could tell you the story left behind

The roots of my prevailing sustenance

But there is nothing you could do

For this stubborn old wood!
