Heavy Hearted
Red & blue sage in remembrance of you
Gladiolus, carnations-
pink poppies too.

While foxglove protects
With larkspur and flax,
The windflowers wilt but always grow back.

White lilies for hope
And forget-me-nots true,
an innocence captured in their ambiguous blue.

Griefs Pink and white orchids,
Support’s crimson rose-
the healing of hyacinth,

flowers & prose.
written in  tribute, to the family of a good friend.

Me
It feels like
the middle of the day and yet
you are
tired
It feels like a river that does not flow

Feel
Intense nerves
Go elope round surface

Brain I remember think him
Don't afraid

Like us be joints in our love

Body like helium
Balloons
And come pop it all around
Vanessa Gatley Apr 2022
My body like balloons
Filled with helium
And blood
Will you come pop it
