screaming at the indifferent wind


it howls around my head

it howls around my hunger

drowning the sounds of my screams

that suffering has not made me stronger

 

dreams are our downfall

harbinger in a house of hope

who taught us to dream?

it’s usually not our parents

 

but is it worse to accept that which surrounds?

where the wind blows so hard

you can’t hear any other sound

i now understand why atlas shrugged

 

but it wasn’t a solution

so i don’t know

i’m sysiphus with a stone

and here i go with another day

 

dreaming, no wishing, there wasn’t a hill

curtailing consciousness with swill

if water finds its own level

i’ve evaporated

 

but do i have the kinetic energy

to overcome liquid-phase intermolecular forces?

after the replenishing rain

even clouds dissipate

 

the wind doesn’t care what it blows away

it is an unconscious current of air

but it is still powerful enough

to clear the landscape of your dreams
