Turtle

I have no shadow

I am the breath that bleeds.I no longer thirst, for my sorrow feeds on the needs of a stricken heart.

On this road I have no shadow.

Living in loss I\'ve lost the need, yet still I bleed.

I concede

Not to sorrow but to the breath.

Not to the stricken heart but to the blood.

Not to the road but to the shadow.
