Vein Life

Gnarled and dry roughly thrusting outwards

Play umbilical chords

Lifeless detached not rooted

Strangled by mother’s nature force

My unstrummed brothers gave me life

Gnarled and dry roughly thrusting outwards

Smothered by the chord that bound them

She severed herself from the tree

Lifeless detached not rooted

Dead roots. Dead weight.

Not connected to this earth

Gnarled and dry roughly thrusting outwards

Shrivelled with memories of love

Some notes die so others may live

Lifeless detached not rooted

Just a girl

Brought life by boys who died?

Gnarled and dry roughly thrusting outwards

Lifeless detached not rooted
