TORNADO

I remember he was bent down
like a whirpool
I was yelling at him
He looked scared and backed away
another time, I squinted my eyes to see
and he said I looked ugly
the funny part was when
my sister asked me where he went to
and I just didn't know
He just dissapeared one day into nothing
I am rotting and rancid
each day,rotting,but I am water,too
I am watery nymph that is hot and wet
like a wetted beast
I saw the man walking, hunched over
and thought it was him
"Father!" I yelled after the man
who was hunched, he was going somewhere
He turned but the face was green
It's a black life, but I don't want to die
I don't want to die,I don't ever want to die
God dman you,don't you shoot me in my sleep
Let me rot on this earth forever
Like a carrot I will be everything God can't see
Oh, what do I mean?
God scan see everything
I mean the angles, I mean the half-gods
I mean the flowers,don't ever let them see me live forever
Don't you ever let them see
That I am all root here in the ground
