Our Beginning
C. Madria Steven
I floundered thrice
Plus some bites
A little too much
For ev’rybody
They all watched me crash hard
Into tree stumps of blights
I never knew what I’d find
When peering through the glass lense
It hit me like a tidal wave,
The sounds and sights mixed together
The deafening roar of thunder clouds
And pelting hail from ev’ry which way
Told my story and lined us up today
But the wind doesn’t say that we can stay
So I kick dandelions outside,
Contemplating potential losses
I face these mountains alone here,
Abstaining from your retractions
The snow melts in your brown eyes,
But my throat bleeds just the same
We know kindness and strain
That never seems to fade
So here we both are,
Stuck in our circles
Pointing away,
Invisible
