SIMON PERCHIK
"Branching out"

Branching out and this hillside bit by bit unraveling the way your shadow keeps to itself just by darkening, fed the dirt you once could see through as if nothing was there to hum then swallow some old love song that came into the world facing the ground still trying to leave you and night after night you listen for these smaller then smaller stones eating alone as the cry forever struggling from its harsh stranglehold to keep up, side by side and stay.
