the mountain, the tree, & the ocean

from wasted space by the smallest one

about

the titular, previously unaware trio have themselves developed a kind of consciousness, and observe from their static positions some of the many ugly human tendencies, seeing and feeling it all, but unable to take any action, due to their preordained inanimateness.

lyrics

the mountain grew eyes today,
& i saw
tears rolling down her face,
as she watched
everything go to shit
at the touch of their skin;
the ice is getting thin.

the tree grew a heart today.
i could sense
a deep state of disarray
inside his chest,
as he found all his friends
tumbling down. he was next.
then the rest.

the ocean grew wings today,
& i watched:
as she tried to fly away,
she got caught
in a giant box.
& so, she won’t know
what it’s like to be the sky.
& now she’ll never find out.
