through failed speech,
i’ve made words bloom
from seeds to leaves
as they wilt slowly,
i realized that i haven’t
sowed what i planted,
and i haven’t stopped
to smell the flowers—
if i fail to decipher
what is hidden within the veins
of each petal, what would happen
if it wilts?
would life end
with me not knowing
the reason behind morning dew?
