She actually was from Venus

Recently relocated to Mars

She likes to criticize the gutter

Hate on the stars

She’s a murderer, if looks could kill

I’d show up to pay her bail

I invited her into the twilight

But love her enough

Poetry Tree

I saw no birds grieve No fallen leaves No branches on the ground None made a sound It wasn’t rotten It didn’t die in a storm Capitalism came In its progress form To take one of my last Best refuges from me I may be the only one who noticed The death of my poetry tree.
