Arboretum presents white dogwood,
3 jars with roots and a heart,
monument to the people
we’ve conveniently forgotten.

I hate you
armored heart,
caged heart.

I peeped your demons
becoming robots,
meeting with remarkable men,
being the light.

3
Behold an aquarium of flowers
where the cricket sings
how to properly touch a girl
so you don’t creep her out.

4
Then again, no.
Why I am so worried.

Fucked-up flowers
ruin everything,
pretty much every word. . .
