they (mostly) lie

some backwords some forewords

scattered haphazwordly about

buried earthword like earthworm like

stumbled across

a flashbangboom

hurled hurtled skyword

hurting like small sharp shards

such a fickle fumble thing

ever spiraling

naught to do afterblast aftermath afterwords

but move

and (hopefully someday

heavenword
