It was a dark and stormy day,
Cooking tea in the usual way,
This was my mother long ago,

        Until they puddle up in joyful memory
          And the autobahn is lost in a contented, smitten, bliss

words moved me, and
God
i wanted my fingers to blister and my
bones to ache
but my mind withers and my heart breaks
i swallowed ink and still i couldn’t
make the words flow like they used to as if
almost as if
they refuse to

You are not
what has happened to you.

to it.

Some plants will drown
in rain
that nourishes others.
