I've Seen You In Soil

Back

2023

Outside of my church the people run free

From structures that bind personality

Running and rampant they search for a clue

But nothing is sacred inside of the shoe

Which kicks out at pigeons that block off the street

In hordes of feathers that stink of oil

“Do you know my name?” desperate cries from the feet

Pigeon replies “I’ve seen you in soil

Twisting and turning and feeding on clay

Forever resisting the bright light of day”

But people are people and worms are worms

There’s plenty of toys to distract from the urge

For the infinite bliss that awaits all who may

In earnest proclivity glance up at the sun

And shrivel to nothing, Oh isn’t it fun?

When nothing is nothing and everything’s won


Outside of my church the people lay ruined

But a bird is a bird and a human is human
