Rain in the Field Full of Creeping Jenny

Lots of tiny lines, paper cuts in the skin

doodles on the page where the ink sets in

Draining out my blood these tattered lines

like cannon balls they hit my gut

and drop grenades in my mind

How will I ever find my blood

running through my veins again

like a freight train

when all this dead weight

holds me down

and makes me slumber

far too deeply?

Like dead animals in the woods

from their bones

tiny flowers creep

It's a sign of spring

and the tiny threads of creeping Jenny 

cover the dry earth, until it rains.
