My mother used to say I was unlovable, as she nurtured her bourbon garden. That word was planted in me, taking root beneath my skin. Budding lonely leave-me’s and forget-me-now’s. Summer’s spent naked under torturous heavy heat. Seeking sanctuary Autumn, relieving seasons past.

fleeting fall
My mother used to say I was unlovable, as she nurtured her bourbon garden. That word was planted in me, taking root beneath my skin. Budding lonely leave-me’s and forget-me-now’s. Summer’s spent naked under torturous heavy heat. Seeking sanctuary Autumn, relieving seasons past.
