= Undergrowth =

beneath the world, haunting
are the thoughts
of hatred, of anger, of destructive passion
that try to tear the safety nets of the world
to shreds
shreds of tears
shreds of jealousy
shreds of need
shreds that destroy wantonly, caring not
caring not that their paths collide
creating catastrophes and climaxes
the world n'er seen before
