Here I am amidst a wave of dying wheat
swaying in a fragrance of burnt oak.
My feet heavy within a listless gut;
an inconclusive body
in a realm of bitter soil.
Malicious clouds observe a ruin,
unnourished and dim-
a pith of a steeped soul.
A boundless dream once
hidden within your broad mouth.
Earth of sweet marrow,
embrace me to a life.
To your death,
To your trodden pasture,
where a neutral path blazes,
and is still, and breathes.
Let us be destroyed by fire.
Let us be silent.
Really great word play going on here. Just a profound understanding of the parts of speech of English and how to use them. I am a knucklehead, you are a poet. Cheers.
