Sun for Plants

I have just a room in a large house 

Where I hold most of the pretty things 

Hidden away from the

Sickening callous

Soft and calcified eyes

Do you need water?

I have a windowsill behind my dresser where

I hold forests trapped in ceramic pots 

In a room I chose just 

For its dirty windows

Which make it wonderful 

For hiding but

Difficult to maintain

Sun for the plants

(2024)

Strike Out,

St. Louis
