Vestige I've Become

by ·

11/25/2018
From the top of my head
To the tips of my toes
I’m worthless to those
Who need a harvest/hardy host

At what day
Did I become this way
What changed, rearranged
When was value replace with shame

I lie here
With unsinkable fear
That the tides of cheer
Have forever disappeared

The riptide won
The moon won’t come
To return the tide’s sum
From the vestige I’ve become
