you never realized did you
writing so many useless words
stringing your ink across the pages
over and over
until the pen was spent
and the sun went down
and all your teeth fell out
and turned to dust
though a tree now grows
through what you used to be
all the world's birds
are gone forever
where were you
beneath summer's rustling leaves
always wanting
someone else's urging
