Kissing Worms

Carve out the world, reach the sky

Pull yourself up above the drowning proles

Breathe deep the air that floods your lungs

Wet and painfully heavy

Picked from salvation by unknowing gods

Thrown back into the sticking earth.

Is it worse to drown, to be consumed

Then find a fleeting peace

Before the water is burnt from your skin,

Stuck, mummified to the grounded

Kissed by the heat of the sun.
