Seeds running through my veins

Telling the system it’s not okay.

The walk of pathways

Sweet and thick

While envy yells “swallow.”

We ride on unknown beings.

Stars cluster but they aren’t yellow.

Too strong to bear through smoke,

The light post signals one passageway

Until our tracks are only repeated.

I’ve been here before

But not with you.

Pathways cross but only during

Your absence.

Sweet were the days in grainy image

But now my eyes see plain gray.
