A Plant-Heart
A plant-heart's deep, secret, introverted life is rooted in ancient wisdom nurturing its crimson desires
June 15, 2022
We are happy in our secret plant ways,
rooted to the birthplace,
looking for the sun,
trying to find all rhombus patterns
and break them,
preserving ancient moon-blotches
on our ring-fingers and forearms
Living an introvert person’s exciting life
for nothing,
We grow a deciduous forest
in autumn
at the back of our mind
where oddly crimson banyan figs
lie scattered
throughout the summer months like multiple desires
of a plant’s heart
