From The Ground Up

'I am drowning, there is no sign of land/ You are coming down with me, hand in unlovable hand.' ~The Mountain Goats, No Children

From The Ground Up
By: Akhilesh Agarwal

Speak in monochrome colors
In the night sky, in its rhythm
My love, suns are dying every second
You are whispering consolations to you
Your sacred heart
Your hellish soul, ravaged like a flood
Did it drown you or did you finally swim?
Keep this town in your spaces, forget
The words they have ever spoken
Bury them in parts of you you can’t reach
We just weren’t made that way
We are blossoming or breaking
We are eternally changing.
