Spiders of Grass

it was just a glimpse, but for a moment times stood still

By BrenPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

every single leaf on the tree

looked like Ziggy Stardust

before he fell

every single branch

like an organic fan made banner

in honour

of a lesser god

no matter what angle

no matter what view

it was all Ziggy and tree

i bear no legal obligation

to depart from this my trail

for this is purely my tale

and it is

of misinformation

of obfuscation

of procrastination

of crazy situations

but it is my duty

to tell lies as i see fit

to dilute the truth

and the proven

with watered down lies

every single branch

makes him jiggle

every blow of the wind

brought him to life

i can't remember

where the tree

was planted

or even how

it came to be

but everything

glows like

its supposed to be

and the same was

and it was

as if

forever

revealed

some

of her secrets
