The other day I thought of writing a poetry about healing About self- love, growth Nonsense. My tone is still abrupt, crooked, melancholic Orange like the winter sun My hands are yet pale. Yellow as the home cooked oil, The other day I thought of writing about memories that soothe me Motionless. About the barren walks Only to find how my head still bleeds The mind that has empty grass, Wild flowers not beautiful my friend, Everything wild is not beautiful for things need a foundation too. Everything I know is rust Everything I know is blue rain, Forgotten like the rains so beautiful Forgotten like the winter chills in the Summer. Healing is a slow process Coiling into a watery prayer.
