Your Soul

So who is this Soul that you sing of?

This silent witness

Who counts the leaves off  of trees

Instead of gathering them?

And raking them into a funerary pile,

Into the giant pile that your better self will set afire and then fall from,

Or jump into.

Up to your eyeballs,

Up to your own personal crown of thorns.
