what if my memories were seeds?

what if i awoke one day

surrounded by a garden?


would the garden be a fearful sight?

trees of mellow fruit,

flowers from every bitter summer,

and roots strangled by my terrors.


or would the garden compare only to the biblical Eden?

trees of laughter's labor,

flowers of my loved ones gifts,

and roots of gold from a life

not just survived, but well lived.


but no magic haunts my blood 

and the garden is over growing in my head

so i will build my own out here

with the only thing i have ever understood:

letters to words and words to poems.
