HUGGING EARTH

Who found me
in the forest,
hugging earth?
Only small red lines
on skin -
left - to signify pain.

Who found torn skin,
soiled clothes –
who searched through
fallen – limbs,
whose feet touched mud,
moved dead leaves
kicked pebbles?

With clean soules you
walk across clean white
floors. . .
to stare
into vacant eyes, as
you stand behind glass.

No one understood -
hugging earth.
