send me your seeds
in the same tube
we
discussed

wave and recede
'til they breathe
the dust
of us

it's just
there's much
I'd like to touch
hearts
hands
and such

and oh!
the time
that I
would spend

laying my roots
sans stems
and shoots
a truth

where animals
are animate
and trees
are not born
men

I can't defend
much less
depend upon
a sky lit
by
moonshine
pink within

but though  
I dream
of other worlds
than these
I
can not
change my skin
I'm happy to present this collaboration with the
deviously deviant & wonderfully whimsical
:icono0amphigory0o:

she drew the fantastic image above and wrote in the
artist's comments "some little creature who's depressed
about being connected to a tree"

she asked me to write something to accompany it
and I more than happily obliged

you can check out the original image here: [link]

you can view our other collabs here: [link]

(please) check out her gallery!


ps. if you like this collab, try this one: [link]

The sounds in this blow me away. I also found it disarmingly sensual, to borrow one of your phrases. And there’ve been several times now that you’ve reminded me of the Laini Taylor books I have apparently reviewed twice for you. “I can not change my skin” is another one.
