“here.”
they say.
“you are better now.”
the chains are gone.
and
the nature has grown
and there is no more
pain to store
here any more.
they have given words
like peace.
like sanity. like this reality
is the best
it could ever be.
like this
is the best we could ever have.
the lips
are hushed,
the blood
is run,
the water
is tan,
the soil
is sand.
it is safe.
to begin again.
the chains are gone.
and
the nature has grown
and there is no more
pain to store
here any more.
“here.”
they say.
“you are better now.”
