Observation
I am crushed beneath tendrils of greater men, drowning in the sickly sweetness of gifts bestowed to them by other gods. My neck has become root but follow my eyes, for they still flicker.
There, in the corner, I see you, Scribe! My gaze is upon you, he who takes roll call from the margins. If you would believe me Scribe, I was once a writer too. Felt I had words to bring together human and beast, and then I made mistake after mistake, and the vines grew all around me. Now you see the way I am.
