THE WISH TO EFFACE

the wish to efface
the wish to be inconspicuous
let's end this endemism please
the more they see me
the more they see faults

I wish to be interoperable
to converse with the dead
to learn and communicate with spirits
bring me an ossuary
and see happiness with no bound

the forest keeps calling
I want to be free from people
the spirits keep whispering
I need to hear directly from them
the wish to efface
