Cursed

It was in the woods
where i saw it first.

Cursed.
To live a life.

In the shadows
With the moss.

And lichen.
Senses heightened.

Avoiding the light.
Not wanting to fight.

A forlorn plight.
In physical form.

Against the norm.
Away from the swarm.

Made it’s home.
In the loam.

Hidden away.
Against the day.

Surviving the decay.
The only way.

It knew how.
Being in the now.
