Where Unearths the Light

Like how one letter
transforms work to worn.
Screams changes quickly to dreams.
And laughter
when desecrated with an s
turns to slaughter.
How knees used for praying
can be knees used for killing.
And shadows become apparent
when light outlines their presence.

How constellations take shape
when stars have enough dark
to reveal their patterns.
And loves changes to loved
sometimes as time passes.
How heart moves effortlessly
to heard. Alone to atone.
Flee to free. Hole to hope.

How beauty unearths from the ground
as blossoms rise from dirt.
And humanity burns deepest
when humans give hands
to humans scorched.
To humans who hurt.
