a spoonful of dirt
virgin, untouched a fresh plot of land parents race to colonize— we are pocked and marred at the hands of our makers becoming their primitive finger painting. we strain through the folds of skin to find a trace an inkling of flesh that belongs to ourselves yet as the skin begins to harden we lose the chance to claim something for our own. |
