PhototropismA Poem by JazmineLook past the outskirts of the town of stray men And see the purple hue of the lovers who’ve turned to sand The dust cloud that flows like silk along the breeze Until it’s dispersed completely Run blindly past the seam of shadow and light A lack of judgement gives into instinct reach into the primal depths once buried by doubt And find untainted, pure, sacred grass The growth is stunted, but now it breathes! It aims toward the sun and commands me to run Vines emerge and pull me up I’ve risen! © 2016 Jazmine |
