LOCKDOWN 2.0

I talk to the plants as i water it.

Them.

I let my phone vibrate on my side table

untill it pushes itself off the table

I never know how much will drown you or starve you so i imitate the rain.

I use you as a makeshift guage of how much to give and how much to take.

(and maybe we belong in a place where the sun isn't so selfish)

 

when you say care, do you add for or about?

because i didn't know the difference untill

they carved it into me.

somedays i am a ghost, somedays i am a giver.

I never stop wondering if you notice.

              it hurts to cut off pieces of you 

              but it hurts more

              to stand here and burn.
