My succulents died today Clearly pouring stale pineapple water in the soil was a failed experiment I tried planting it in fresh soil Tried to water it Tried to give it some sun But the leaves Kept Falling. I didn't even ID it yet. It was so soon. I thought I could nurture nature with her own remains But what goes around Doesn't always come around Like human 'love' Not the kind you shower upon puppies and kittens Or cows and horses for that matter No. That does come around. I'm talking about the one that fades When you stop answering calls Or returning them That phone keeps vibrating and ringing it's ringer out Yet you don't ****** bother. Jeez it was just a cigarette Why does my poetry turn out so dark.
