Terrain
Without you knowing I trod upon your stars,
I felt my feet bleed on glass, sulphur and tar,
I shared, my cuts like leopard cubs rolls
Drinking no fount of lovers afar
I questioned the query and all but toils
My spots not infected just somewhat boiled
I craved the sacred life and more;
my body weak - your final claw.
Then sat abranched stretched hose
I gave in to my purpose.
