unpermitted

lost weirds wording
mute mouth movement
i blind eye my fuzzy sight
waiting for fires to burn

your permission is
not my intention
your permission is
not my affliction
i break earth in lines
in my own damned time

nightsitting, waiting
giving over to my dross
'til she bare feet comes
never touching ground
never turning 'round, again

    I think your central stanza is key here; discovery is and should be personal – following a trodden path, seeking permission, means merely stepping in the footprints of others.
    Well written.
