In the hills

 In a selfish endeavour to cool my soul,

Chose the hills as stress burster parols.

As I ascended I took brief pause,

To adjust my ears to the silence across.

 

Have you heard those buzzing sound,

Though not of sea or man made or found.

I knew them since I am born to Bourne,

Summer in hills under the cottony sojourne.


 Those are the ferns leaves stand tall to stalk,

The miseries of man in he womb of rock.

 I saw your yellow bird behind its leaves,

It tried until it whistles to the breeze

 I saw a fuzzy hut with a turnished red roof

Small dresses cover the fences barring grooves 


I know they care not the dust or smoke

But bear the byproducts of  weekenders joke

Do you think I can live here for ages to come

With the same vibes and aura that numb

If love loses the spirit before you die

What you are living is nothing but lie.

How am I

 I don't bother to tell you how I am

Sleepless nights

Churning memoirs 

Disrupted thought

Bursting desires

Me fertile, still mother of an orphaned child.

I don't bother to ask you how you are

Chocked breathe

Rotten wreath

Hide and seek with tender death

I don't give a shit to how we are.
