Valles Marineris II

Every drink
(red dust at the bottom)
Every room
(red dust at the bottom)
Every shoe
(red dust at the bottom)
Every womb
(red dust at the bottom)
Every heart
(red dust at the bottom)
Every tomb


See this poor starving child
Two meters tall
This one can’t stand upright
Stumbles and falls

Shameful to starve in plain sight
So they’ll sent away to the canyon


Every bone
(crumbling into red dust)
Every oath
(crumbling into red dust)
Every deal
(crumbling into red dust)
Every home
(crumbling into red dust)
Every dream
(crumbling into red dust)
Every hope
(crumbling into red dust)


With enough dusty drinks
I’ll feel no shame
Won’t be pressured to think
Or to dream

I just do what I’m told
Serve and protect (and disappear inconvenient things)

They’ll clear me from the ranks
If I complain
Send what’s left to the tanks
With the slain

In the canyon await
Shroud-wrapped faces of those that could not fit in
