Elucidating Questions

I reject my own blood

My father thinks we’re Jewish

I am not of the cities

I am of the forests

Perhaps just that the forests call louder than the cities

I still feel the call of the Ocean

In some ancient place within me I want to go back

But on land I remain so take me to the trees

Take me to a place where the wind rustles and you can hear every leaf

No more wailing engines

No more wailing sirens

Bring me the peace of the forest on any day

I wish it could come back to me

That great forests would groan and walk from their places to me

Just another loud truck roaring by

Just another screech in the night that’s not an owl

Some explosion somewhere

Remove me from these people

Remove me from these people who deny me their comforts because I can’t be productive to them

Take me away from here

I want to live in the little clearing by the waterfall I created in my mind to escape home

In my world where when things go wrong you can fix them

People give me such rude looks

Sorry I don’t fit your cookie cutter imagination of how people should be

Is it unfair to judge them as aware and capable as I am?

And why?

Let them destroy their Earth give me my own

Split the timeline and I go

They can go in some other direction

If they’d all just disappear I may be able to do something

I want the sound of the birds to be louder than the cars

How do people think with this constant scream of sounds?

It’s too loud, I hate it

Bring me my forest back

There’s a husky coming down the sidewalk

That may be the best thing that’s happened today

I’ll go live with wolves and when they turn on me and attack me

It’ll be fine because at least it wasn’t humans who should know better

Humans should know better by now

Put two cats together, they scratch eachother, learn claws are sharp, and scratch with their claws less

Put two humans together and one kills the other and says “but it was my right to do so”

I wish bad notes didn’t hurt

I wish I could escape this noise

And these children screaming

How I miss when there were more trees than people

Take me back to the forest

I want to curl up in Mother Earth
