The Forest For The Trees

entry picture

I'm waiting for a message
in a bottle that'll never come
because the sea has dried
to a desert
and the cactus
cuts to the bone
if you get too close

so swim away through the sand
drown in the saline sea
that we made
the shimmering mirage
that together we built
was unveiled
and you can't see the forest you loved
because the trees block your view
break out the axe
chop yourself in two
its what you want to do
since the trees block your view
so turn your back to the forest
fly away towards the meadow
the butterflies are waiting

when the forest cries out
because no one is there to hear
you do
but the trees block your view
