Sky forgets to breathe
dirt begins to cleave

Moonlight soaks the sea
dawn of our disease

Children of the drowned
hide your gardens underground
Fingers rub granite walls
wishing for a waterfall

While these
worms engulf the apple tree
turning
fear into deformity
Eden secretes belief

Opened up in awe
a tooth escapes the jaw

Two feet from the lips
captured by the fist

Patience, every age
love distills drops of rage
Scan the sky, blinding glint
teach these pupils how to squint

While these
worms engulf the apple tree
turning
fear into deformity
Eden secretes belief

The Gardener?
The greatest thief
He reaped His self
and sowed our grief
