Ghosts of Abandonment



Lying beneath a million ghosts

I note the weeds beneath me


So much healthier than the intentional plantings


The hunger of abandoned places...

A phrase I have heard and remembered,


The hunger of abandonment,

It's what feeds the weeds

And makes ghosts of long lost stars

  2. love the lines "so much healthier than the intentional planting". It sums up so much of life in general; the haphazard often healthier and happier than the design. -Karlsie
