Rain and time are nature’s
weapons, nurturing life outside
your human structure. A well-
tended garden drowns in a
jungle, crawling closer to
your domain. The house
cries out as weeds and trees
grow, piercing and merging
into its brick body.
Misaligned tiles sneak water
from above. Damaged ceilings
drip, drip, drip onto damp carpets,
the scent of abandonment still
lingering in an occupied home.
Futile marks of inhabitation
are foiled as the vines
tap, tap, tap on the windows.
Unwanted life emerges, living
in the walls long before you
claimed the land as yours.
Inside and out are taken,
warriers fighting against
your existence.
Nature vs structure, we
have already won.
