Infants Become Skeletons

The value of something undermines

What we try to do here.

It lives and occurs, becomes the cord

 

Between the dreams you serve and the dreams

You fail to receive.

You see the people

 

In orbit of their

Origins.

 

As they lie down in their glue,

New for one more day.

 

And all the tears and smiles

For a chance of love,

From infant to wrinkes

And dust.
