Cascading Wilderness

 

on level near a fig tree next to a box of diaries—sits a child. he peruses his ancestors. he has color semi-muted. it sounds strange.

 

daffodils weep. dictums encompass terror. deep sorrow suffers.

 

souls boil in lava. the child becomes a man. he dreams of a bigger picture.
