You and the Dirt

Stickered existence
I was a victim of a drive-by
the brushing of a Holly tree
and the prickers lining the plastic leaves
The scrape of bark
nature’s equivalent to concrete
I will bleed and it will be sweet
And then there’s pine needles
and rocks
and caves
the dangers obvious
the consequences clear
Deep down it’s you and the dirt
no analogies
no depth
you and the dirt
