The prosperous will grow from your left
palm
ravaging the earth skin of your hand
and becoming a volcano that bursts into a beautiful biennial
Your nails will know themselves as leaves and the misery will no longer undo you
You will feel the profoundness of your years
and calmly you will water yourself
and with the fecundity of your acquired patience
you will give rosettes
and I in that second year
will be back
to see you in bloom
