a gardener's ailments may include


hypokalemia.
the valley at thirteen is
missing evergreens;
heart poison, low on oxygen
and their blood is running thin.

ventricular tachycardia.
dusty skin against the rust,
clutch at the whispers of
their fluttering pulse.


quiescent beauty.
something new is happening.
asphyxiation and amethyst anthers;
violet delights have violet ends.
you can pry my lowkey obsession with toxicology from your own cold, dead hands.

Day Three of NaPoWriMo/gliitchmonth!  :iconnapowrimo:  :icongliitchmonth:

So sorry this is late! I had to build a sculpture out of fruits two nights ago for my art project and then today was the firing squad real SAT so I was studying yesterday (even though the test is easy for me) and there's not enough time to do anything so forgive me for falling behind—I'll catch up!

(Also, any thoughts on experimenting with alignment?)

This is a bit haunting, but I love it. I read it three times. The progression of thought is so smooth.

As for experiments with alignment, those are fun. I Iike the way you have it here, it works and matches the flow of the poem.
