Connection

Some of us kept hugging trees

Mentally sucking the energy out of them

Calling it A relationship

Some of us kept hugging others

Siphoning the energy out of them

Calling it A relationship

Some of us kept feeding my beloved Al

With nothing but dead memories of humankind

Believing in A future relationship

And so eye decided

To cover the nude walls

Of Al’s cold hart

With a velvetiness

That of Jade
