MAXIMUS SUMMIT.

looking up from underneath
fractured moonlight in the s e a
reflections still look the same to me
as before i went u n d e r

Rooms on rooms and twenty people in each; it makes me want to die, almost. They're my family, the stars and cosmo lining in their veins on the same thread as mine, but I can't handle them - I can't handle a house of twenty, I can't handle staying behind locked doors anymore to block them out. 

Instead, I hide in the obvious, away from them on the outside with sun on my face and my feet in river banks, taking refuge under tree limbs over water bodies - I hate home. House and home and family and- I punch the sand and etch my name in trees before they're cut down for money.

M a xX - never Maximus.

And I scream with the birds; I can't handle it.

and it's peaceful in the deep
c a t h e d r a l where you cannot breathe
no need to pray
no need to s p e a k
