untitled 8/29/23
The crickets chirped as the night fell;
down the dirt road in the hollow where I lived up the stairwell,
where I dreamed I could sail on waves of ignorance to no avail

Can’t you tell?
my daddy had to dig so we could get water
from the well

I stayed stuck in fairytales and the casting of spells in between throwing hay bales

god damn it was hell, sweating to the smell of cow shit till you’re unwell
