the way i take to get to you winds through the deepest woods,
through caves and canyons where the echoes keep shifting.
i been hacking back the vines choking all the other paths,
but my machete arm is tired. i’ll cede this one to the fist of time.
but some roads are ground into the earth somehow.
some scars are drawn too deep. you’re written on me.
wiser men know to take their rest, but i’m a runner on the paths
that wind through the wilderness separating each of us.
i see my mark covered up. branches got no regard for us.
these passages keep on narrowing. all except that forsaken one.
