potatoes searching for light
I fill my arms
buying comfort
trying to buy my certainty
there are dark seeds
pushed into a corner
my arms are tired
I have carried all this through the day
my feet are tired
I have carried all this through my years
pushed into a corner they will wait
our home
small boxes
larger boxes
dark corners
our home
while they wait
i forget
I forget to wake
I forget to make dinner
in the darkness
there is comfort in forgetting
tendrils are spilling out of the cupboard
purple and white
curling and searching
touching every dark corner
these seeds
they have not forgotten
to search
i will bury my comfort and certainty in the yard
we have out grown our boxes
searching for the light
