i think that it was
seeing you
in full bloom,
at the very height
of spring –
strong green buds plaited,
bright petal
sheen and shine,
all the colours
twined.
it
brought me to tears.
I know
how very much
we were a symbiosis,
your new green verdant growth
tied to
my mud stained
cleansed hands.
I was the first one who had cared for you in years.
Parted.
Uprooted.
I cry for us both now.
Oh This is me X C
