Land Mines
By Lemons
The world is full of empathy,
and other words to round up my vocabulary
Feeling is not some kind of tragedy
a refreshing play where we all end up dead;
And your apathy
translates to me as
land mines in my favored field,
a garden built to make me heal,
I wish to plant my deflowers
but every flower is perishing
because there’s gun powder in the dirt.
