YOU SAID

 

You said;

I will leave!

I will remove the seed of your image from my eyes

And plant it in the hard land of oblivion.

The shine from pupils will easily squirm, 

like a fish from palms.

 

I stood like a tree with many branches

abandoned by birds

and their nests.

 

I'm getting used to it

like earth's ground on dead bodies -

to your headless 

words.
