XIX: Generations of Gravity#
The mind, it breaks, and falls to parts.
As father died, he spoke in tongues
Of shifting walls and gravity
That sideways pulled the world to parts.
The mind, it shakes, and all departs.
As mother lost her lonely thoughts
She spoke to walls, soliloquy
That inward rolled as world departs.
The mind, it fakes, and poisons hearts.
As nightshade petals float to floors
By walls that seep humanity,
That crumble worlds of poisoned hearts.
The mind, it wakes, in fits and starts.
As thoughts now lay me down to sleep
The walls will shift and speak to me
That upside down my ending starts.
