Artifacted Living from Bloodless Arches by Ways In Waves

I deny the shapes I see
I’m separate and new
I can’t bring myself to prove
A value never used

Limbs were the roots I knew
Now their motions sag and burrow
On their own as willows

Dream as a tethered ghost
When I come back to I’m
Almost

Lucid but what I see
Is a corrugated echo
Anechoic end goal

Tell me I need to breathe
Where my lungs once were an
Ash tree grows

Stop
And
Tell me
I’m standing here
Without a shadow or doubt

I
Don’t
Feel
My
Branches
Reaching out
Is this my body or not?

Artifacted
Living as a
Name redacted
Gone
From the page

Elevate, when I need

Other eyes to see me clearly
Everyone was near me

What does it matter now?
Row of rings don’t count as
Days lived well

Stop
And
Tell me
I’m planted here
Are you the hollow of rot?

Artifacted Living as a
Faint refracted
Light

Artifacted Living as a
Name redacted
Gone

I deny the shapes I see
I’m not in front of you
You may try combining hues but
Colour’s missing too

I deny the shapes I see
I’m separate and new
I can’t bring myself to prove
A value never used

Artifacted Living as a
Faint refracted Light
Artifacted Living as a
Name redacted
Gone
