Tabula Rasa
November 22, 2014
Geometrical shapes form the torso
from branches of trees.
Housing identical leafs.
Parallel roots anchor
grounding to soil horizons.
Pesticides shape you.
Root begin to twist
Leafs change color
Illness takes over your body
You soon hollow
into nothingness
destroying what use to be.

This was written about a friend I lost because of change going on in his life and how that change in his life changed him all together as a person. I miss him very much, but I know he's doing just fine without me in his life, which makes me happy.
