Puddles Water In Her Hands

Folder: 
Thought For Food

she puddles water in her hands

invisible worms

and visible dirt



she barely makes out her face

quite visible pain

her reflection



and takes a sip as near

somebody takes a piss

in the soil



it leaks into the ground

into the well

the river is



you've got it hard, Maybe,

and it's getting worse

but you haven't, yet, Nearly

begun to learn



what a depression is

the way she lives



she cuddles brother on the land

invisible dusk

the day is so long



they barely make out the plains

the tears in her face

his infection



and out there parents say

somebody sends a kiss

craters soil



it leaks into the ground

into their blood

water boils



you've got it hard, Maybe,

and it's getting worse

but you haven't, yet, Nearly

begun to learn



what depression is

the way she lives

the way she lives



she huddles in hut as troops land

bring they love to her world

or come for the clothes



she barely seems covered in

quite visible pain

stone protection



shivers-throws as they get near

signed order lives in bliss

in a big house



she's sinks to the ground

forced to their arms

her parents dead



you've got it hard, Maybe,

and it's getting worse

but you haven't, yet, Nearly

begun to learn



what depression is

the way she lives

the way she lives



the way she lives



so young and old

the way she dies

barely more then bone

covered in flies



her brother

crawled the desert

a baby

separated



by kindgom swords

imperial scars

and tribal wars

remapping zones

raping lives

raping land

gripping flags

dripping hands



she puddles water in her hands

invisible worms

and visible dirt...
