i could never take care
and i wonder what i’ve done
could I find you again
will be just fine
there’s a pot on my window sill
terra-cotta, i think
and it used to have a spider plant in it
once
now there’s just a pile of dirt
shaped like a terra cotta pot
with a few dried stems
coming out of the top
of anything, you know
to you
hold you in my arms
rock you like a baby
stroke your hair
and tell you everything
will be just fine
