Roots of Acid

Poison Oak
Leaves of Blood
Roots of Acid
Ancient Boughs Sagging Under Their Own Weight
Close to Death, But Still Dangerous
Like a Caged Animal
Roaring
To Kill
Her Heart Beats a Slow Rhythmic Tone
A Warning
Not To Get Too Close
She Screams a Song of Agony
Denial Froths Under Her Skin
Causing Blood To Curdle
She's Been Here a Thousand Years
No One Hears Her Scream
She's Been Here a Thousand Years
No One Sees Her Pain
She'll Be Here The Next Thousand Years
Never
To
Be
Seen
Again...
