inside my ribcage contains millions of flowers
just in case you were wondering
it’s this neverending field that is covered with fresh rain
dew drops sit on petals
rolling off when the water has collected to the bottom
each flower is dusted with pollen
and when i breathe
bees are like
“hey wait there are flowers in there!”
that’s right, bees, flowers
when i move
a breeze flows and makes stems wave back and forth
like flowers are nodding in agreement
mmm hmmm
and at night
while some close because they love the sunlight
others open and their fragrant scent wafts
in the distance
a nighttime garden full of dark green winding leaves
winding vines
tranquil nighttime with my veins
feels like these flowers are sleeping
though some look at the stars
and through my bones
they see the sky
