[ I landed here ]

I landed here
In this darkening place
the hills are alive
with the eyes
of millions who've forgotten.
The structure falters
the truth is squandered
and decorating the canopy
like a shroud, the leaves
whither with the seasons
This Earthen crown,
worn red like armor,
is a halo of certain light
but poisons, toxins saturate the sky
-the fish are bleeding human waste
and the birds are breathing our language

I landed here
but in the morning
She'll be gone

So I shall go and follow
