Buried Above Ground



 Can you make a person disappear?


Forgotten,
Such a similar word,
But so very different.

Gone from the eyes,
Still buzzing in the blood.



Can you bury someone deep enough,
You’ll never fear they will one day crawl back out?

If I find myself beneath the layers of earth,
Deeper than hell itself entailed,
Will I ever one day find myself once again in a pale sunrise?



My deep is blacker than shadows,
It tastes like chalky dirt and age.



Yet I am sure,
As sure as my heart is heavy with mud,
As sure as the dirt under my fingernails,
As sure as the rain I can feel even so far down here,



I have not yet disappeared.
