You unearthed me
Broke me up
Thought you were breathing life into me
Instead oxidized my insides
Exposed me to the elements.
Verdant and whole
You remain
Untouched
Unfazed
Unchanged.
How do we divide these unequal bounties?
No green from you could cover the damage done
No waters could quench this soiled soul
No home could house the petulant pain
But what you didn't know
Is that you prepared me
For what comes next.
My soul is lush
She grows
More than your grassy façade could ever
Your toiling and tilling
Cultivated a vivid vermillion
Your greatest villain
Unearthed an unexpected umber
Before only witnessed in slumber
Exposed a promising hue
That won't need anything from you.
