A few weeks ago I saw the remains
of a person who had been hit by a train.
They were scattered along the tracks-
and it was hard to imagine that these parts
had once been together
and that
they had been an entire single body
and that body
had a name and a place in the world.
Strewn along the tracks
is not a place in the world anyone should occupy
and nobody should be called by that name.
Daily Addictions Prompt: IDENTITY
I was out for a walk
and on my walk is a gully full of trees.
I decided to take a few pictures because it’s a pretty spot surrounded by scab of careless city planning and as I was doing that I thought I heard something.
It took me a minute, but I figured that all I was hearing were some noisy birds, some cars and a few barking dogs. But you know that wasn’t it, that wasn’t what I was hearing.
It nagged at me. I couldn’t figure out what that ‘almost’ sound was.
So to distract myself, I decided to check out the pictures I had grabbed and that’s when I noticed that the trees in my pictures were covered with vines.
The vines are thick and nasty looking and I think, from what I’ve recently , they can kill those trees.
Now I think I know what I was hearing.
I think I heard screaming.
