The sticky sap crawls down my limbs Violating the purity of flowers and foliage all around I want to become one with the trees One with the garden and dirt From which I sprouted. I look at the crimson endlessly pouring from my wound. It lets me know that for now I am still human. Not yet plant or earth but soon. Soon I will be. Maybe the creatures will have families and love So in death I could have What I could not receive in life. My bones will finally be a home that they never were for me.
