anatomy of a broken society

because you told me you loved me



and i said
i wanted more

and it seems we've dipped back down to the valley
though i remember our view from the mountain top
we can't seem to step on equal footing
can't find a way to stabilize our disconnected sounds
we move through layers of history
make new translations along the way
lose pieces once precious
while we gain new strains
placed precariously upon our backs
weighing down a journey
once so commonplace
