Let them be
overgrown, let them be
the pond
that lures you in, makes you
stop
to look
in between therapy
and the graveyard.
Let pink and green go
where they grow,
until they adorn the water
for what it is: not ours.
Let lotus
show us
its ways of living—
it’s all a flower bed,
it’s all a flower bed.
