just a seed
planted
in the shady side
of oblivion
left to take root
in the sand rich soil
of bitter memory
a stunted
monstrosity
gnarled
under the selfish need
for more
in a land
ripe
with opportunities
yet always placed
just beneath
notice

(un)requited
forgotten
yet unbroken
by callous cosmos
insipid in design
yet resigned
to find
a home
in the errant streams
of light
