Garden of needles bloom and
stab native vegetation.
Light rays reflect off metallic structures
squinting gray eyes
of guilty bystanders
as they collapse,
fertilizing innocent soil.
Keen edges breach the earth
rising to the face of man to
sew chapped lips.
Muffled voices impair responses
to my questions
as I sprint above the surface
of sharp edges.
No sin to weigh my body down
to a porous sponge.
Floating alone, the needles grow and warp,
upholstering th earth apart,
cross-stitching breathing bodies
into a fantastic quilt.
Nothing strong enough to
cut through roots that strangle the core.
The world seizes it's rotation;
blinding other worlds.

If love were a picture that painting would never be finished.
