The world is shit.
It hurts.
Its cruel.
And I can't ever
Seem to stop
The flow of empathy.
I can't stop crying.
Can't stop watching the tears
Fall into the dirt at the bottom
Of diseased trees,
Still alive,
Still experiencing sunrises and sets
Like it isn't going to snap
In the next gentle breeze.
I know I am saying goodbye
To something
Every moment of every day.
Goodbye to spider gone without food.
Goodbye to the fly dead in the freeze.
Goodbye to the sapling run over by deer.
Goodbye to the invisible world on my palms,
The bacteria and their friends.
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.
All I can do is dream of their easy deaths
And cup the flowers in my hands,
Pet the back of beetles and moths
Doing their best to live,
To experience the same burning skies
As the hawks and the vultures and me.
