We Never Leave, Only Return

By Aleathia Drehmer

We Never Leave, Only Return

Beats wrestle with empty breath,
with the heart of darkness.

Centuries of dust plume upward,
fire a metronome, bare feet pounding,

the smell of sweat and genetics,
burning into the ether.

The stars reclaim
everything.
