Thicken

Thicken
by Gabe Redel


In the world live memories
that most of us thought
we would never lose.
They are now gone
because we no longer have reason
to eat them.
We could not survive
on the wonderful things
that we had been.
Our bodies needed to thicken.
The soul of our minds
needed to harden.
Out of the cool blue
we grew much like a lighthouse.
