#plastic skull

plastic skull

i kick around rocks and a plastic skull

bounce down the hill until it catches on weeds

the thistle sits thick, grasping tightly

foot failing to knock it free

who was i to ever kick it

instead of holding it dearly

to care is to value

and now it’s too late

the indents are certain and the scratches are set

i slip and i stomp it to flatness

plastic skull rendered into a two dimensional image

Photographer: @cursedwanderer “Our sister, our sister. Where are you?”

“Why didn’t you come to our aid?”

“Why did you flee?”

“Our blood should be thicker than water.”

“You abandoned us.”

“You chose a mortal life before us.”

“You can never return to what you once were.”

“Can you find happiness among those who killed us?”

So I nabbed this from the dollar store today

And I had an idea.

Not beautiful, but it's in place.
