today everyday, i feel like a flower.
/
each day culminates in a petal:
slowly shifting sinusoids,
beginning & ending at my core.
/
i am weighed down by my petals,
but i gracefully stand upright.
sometimes a little breeze comes by,
and i,
effortfully,
let one fall to the ground.
written after nausheen asked me to ‘draw’ grief.
