In the forest of hollow, sorrowful trees and memories, there are clay men. The view obscured by unnatural pavement.. yellow lines that violently clash.. At one point or another you see what things would've been like, had certain things not been developed.. Freely growing branches twisting around eachother like some sort of ancient slow dance. Chemical steam rises to the sky as our inconsideration, and the blood of sacrifice.. like the tide of immorality. These clay men dance in circles around fire, remembering what once was and what will never be. |

As time goes on we lose more of what was. Wonderful Meg. Maree  The clouds never expect it when it rains, but the sea, changes colour, but the sea, does not change. |

"In the forest of hollow, sorrowful trees and memories, there are clay men." This is an example of perfect poetic craft! Perhaps the clay men simply have not passed through the fires of awareness to become hardened so as to endure. |
