As heels peck the earth
I yearn for
an unknown world.
A quiet desperation,
for mist and damp.
Pecks turn to plump
sodden things,
upon drowning dirt.
A slow dance with vine leaves,
in mist and damp.
Untitled creatures chatter
moss covered,
propaganda.
A riotous reverberation,
about mist and damp.
Silhouettes of
long-lost-lovers call
to each other.
A forlorn choir sings
to mist and damp.
Gluttonous mud drinks
an ample deluge,
of cold wet misery.
A wild-place. Wander
through mist and damp.
