dark seed of bitter notes
soaked in acerbic coat
of hopeful forgetfulness
buried deep
tied to a rock
tied to an achor
pushed into the earth
most infertile
that receives acidic rains
day and night
die seed die die die
yet every day
an inverted sore
it spreads its poisonous vines
rotting the ground's core
a neuronic map
like the roots of a mad tree
bolt scraps of broken lightening
noxious fumes in its wake
nurtured by a hurtful rage
of forced negligence
that each day urges it
to rear its ugly head
breaking through the earth
the sapling now a toxiferous flower
of rotten stench
septic nourishment of determined memories
opening like a wound
collecting flies
that are regrets
buzzing about its mephitic life
giving it strength
making it bigger
now it screams
eats away
all the thoughts that you pretended to have
to keep this tumor at bay
an infection existing since yesterday
feeding on everything
that will be tomorrow and today
in an overheated zeal
of coerced amnesia
that which was meant to be dead
was nourished through
a reminder to forget.
