you can cut me down,
you can steal from me,
you slander my reputation,
you can build an army against me,
you can make my life hard.... but
I still reach for the sun,
because that is better than
wallowing in your shadow.

You can get in my way,
you can cut me down, you can steal from me, you slander my reputation, you can build an army against me, you can make my life hard.... but I still reach for the sun, because that is better than wallowing in your shadow.

and so sustained
where once life creeking sounds remain as hard nails steadfast nestled begin to weaken like old photographer's knees or the mind of a surgeon lost to crosswords and shaky pen. The same folk who drank the milk from cows once attended to, who ate the hay stored in loft and old men leaned on tractors solving the problems of the country as their bones began to creek as hard cartilage steadfast holding but weakening with each grunted step. The skeleton remind's of a time lost, but perhaps it is the reminder of the death of progress, of abandonment and scars of the driving force of dreaded children's hopes moving away, Of culled sharp swear words echoing in what is left in the silo. Though beauty is found still in the carved names of young love in the rafters in the basement, that love too, likely long gone in a grand-parents stone in a field somewhere nearby, though once acknowledged, perpetrated on the family it never goes completely away. |
