State

My body aches

I must scream and wept

I do not

Instead, I am awake

Wallowing in a far distance,

In a lonely place I only know 

In a state the poets called "Lonely"

I whisper to the ground to eat me whole

It does not 

I whisper to the seas to drown me in

It does not

I whisper to the night to consume me

It does not

I keep walking

Where do I take this?

I could've wept,

Instead,

I am alive
