poor seal; _;

The tree

In a clearing in the forest
There is a lonely tree
The grief eats its way through his heart
Like poison through the hearts of his brothers

Its roots suck water
His arms seek light
He finds nothing but a poisonous elixir of life
And cold glow

On an island in the middle of the sea
Looks at a lonely seal
Out to sea
It is his pain
Washed up by the waves

It is his death
That the waves carry with them

It is human waste
Who colors the waves black
