shivers in the sunlight

resting on a bed of thorns

crying out

but i'm scared of the dark

it's the middle of the day

i'm afraid

i am afraid

frost gliding over

spiking over

a field of ice

of life

grass, mud, trees, ferns, worms, leaves, everything

withering slowly

quickly

i can sense decay

i can feel the decay

desecrated sacred words

desecrated sacred worlds

red lines

red tape

blurred lines

i'm afraid

there is so much i do not understand

i am buried alive

i am buried in sand

i am floating too high

i've lost sight of the earth

i am alone

i am afraid
