the fountain of life

Look behand your mind

into that vacuum people miss

fracking water returning

to the surface

is a kiss

of death upon the lips

of some

now swollen

by the embrace

that soaks into the tissues

and ruins the sweet face

we shouldn’t need the scientists

to explains to us that we

let it escape our consciousness

we really let them be

as the poison reached our blood stream

we woke up

and we could see

what we should have seen and realised

but it happened anyway

we had closed our eyes

and were dreaming

and for that we have to pay
