Betrayed by Adversity

​I pick the pieces
of concrete
out of my skull
Your silence
feels so confining
I scratch the earth
with my teeth
Bleed green grass
from my aching eyeballs
Now that you mention it
I’m satisfied
with your laughter
I laugh too
in solitude
It feels so deafening
the way your dicers
slice into my eardrums
I lick the gratitude
find a way to defy it
but the whys
are just so haunting
We wander a
damaged plane of existence
The world has left me a place
at the dinner table
The menu feels like betrayal
