despite nothing (a ghazal)

I am upstaged by my window plant: alive off nothing /

Dead feet / used sheets / fungal mind / wild nothing

Over a moon I'll take blue light / over sunlight / I'm over

The hot prison city / streets I grind into nothing

Body like an overgrowth / bone like unturned stone /

Mossing over: / old paths / that arrive / at nothing

Then bleed / an epiphany / then discover / propagation /

Hunt my guts / close my eyes / see what / alights nothing

Controlled burning / excavation / lay my cuttings / in the earth /

Hear a dark green murmur of life / pray it survives nothing.

lots of love 2 shezal for introducing me to this form !!!!
