Unseasonable Weather
Harm’s Way
Overwater
It's my way of killing —
worried heart mists
until leaves fur mold,
watches you sleep to
memorize moles. My
first cactus shriveled
in a basement room
so I drowned a snake
plant, rotted a dozen
succulents. And now,
despite resolution of
benevolent neglect, I'm
awake — cooing at each
scrap of green — and as
you stir, fill the kettle.
