Unlocking and unlocking and unlocking 
pieces scattered about haphazardly
Absorbed into the soil by their own weight
pull the threads of thought out of me 
an afforded luxury that was never fully appreciated 
the armor of this great terrestrial titan 
never submitting to the brutal, hate-filled impacts 
galvanized by the ire of revenge against this world
I opened those plates to let you in 
Where that fluorescent, melliferous pink substance comprises all that I am 
Opening as the valves of some great machine
Showing rather than telling 
Your venom hit home so deeply the plates snapped back into place so suddenly 
I could not even open myself to remove the infection 
Understanding, perhaps more deeply than anything, the definition of ‘vandalized’
As that substance became congealed
Fortified in hurt as the latticework of past infringements 
It cannot be unlocked by you in your current form 
see me for what I am 
remember the electricity of my flower 
seek perfection in the process’ of development 
there is another way to expose my color 
as æther always finds its way to the earth
conflict does not become you 
there is another way
