see: starving artist makes pilgrimage from his critical but supportive beneficiaries.
call them the gods. maybe this be metaphor. or, myth.

and what then are we but the mere spectators of violence?
all of us will settle for or on something, erect cities of tombstones,
hold our tongues & hope to hush the past away,
wonder why it is so hard to keep the bones buried.

and say they really never told you why they call them red rocks?

say it is an allegory in which the hero dies everytime, a boy stuffed with feathers & grief;
say that the feathers are falling from the sky and the grief is a basket you catch them with;

say he is no hero;
say in this story there are no heroes, just ghosts.

see the charred earth left behind,
see how the journey continues nonetheless.

with the windows down you can almost see to the end of the bluebird sky,
that stoic horizon, nostalgic & whole.

catch the wind in your hair,
say this must be what freedom feels like, blurring the world by;

taking from someone else
mush''

i like it. this is gonna sound weird af but reminds me of sasuke from naruto?? don't judge my weeb phase but it's just the picture of someone who's only a hero b/c of outstanding circumstances.
