My Plants
April 24, 2023
My plants rely on me to
grab my half dranken water bottle
that's rolled halfway under my desk and
pour sweet life into their
arid potted confinement,
when I remember too
and yet they flourish.
Sporadic love can be
enough but
I hope when you tear your way
through this world
I've showered you with more than you
can handle
pouring out your ears, up your nose
It will be impossible to
over water you
How can you flood your own seed?
(A promise to my future daughter)

I don't always remember to water my plants and when I do, I use any form of water that's near me even if that is a half empty water bottle. This poem is just a promise to take care of my future progeny better.
