Watercress

sun-kissed tangerine 
sky that helps you grieve

in a field, it’s early fall 

once in a lifetime
once in my baby’s eyes
in these limestone lullabies
will try and fix you

only life to come
is it eternal?  


in a flower burial     
it’s too much to carry all
all begin in watercress

make me whole again
make it October
when the leaves reveal themselves

lift up, guide away
don’t be in your head today

in a flower burial     
it’s too much to carry it all
and I’m wishing you the best
all begin in watercress
