Ode to Lavender
April 7, 2018
The harsh golden light
dried your skin until
fragile fingers crumbled
onto your window sill
there's a stranger in your
mirror who isn't in bloom,
all you faintly recognize
is that familiar perfume.
Thirsty, tired, and dying,
but nevertheless,
you still put on your
light purple sundress.
