Letter rests on damp concrete
Quercus leaves catch every drop
Neon paints the puddles violet
Stranger reads with calloused thumb
Envelope unfurls like frond
Ink bleeds chlorophyll and salt
Roots remember what was sown
Patience grows in cracked mortar
Paper petals unfold slow
Hydrangea hearts in parking glow
Two quiet souls where wild things grow
Paper petals unfold slow
Ficus benjamina shadows
Dance across the motel sign
She traces lines with dirt-stained fingers
He watches rain draw maps on glass
Envelope unfurls like frond
Ink bleeds chlorophyll and salt
Roots remember what was sown
Patience grows in cracked mortar
Paper petals unfold slow
Hydrangea hearts in parking glow
Two quiet souls where wild things grow
Paper petals unfold slow
Monstera splits in hallway light
Aerial roots seek borrowed soil
Words germinate in midnight hours
No latin names for what they feel
Photosynthesis in sodium hue
Stomata open to the truth
No taxonomy for tenderness
Just chlorophyll and shared breath
Paper petals unfold slow
Hydrangea hearts in parking glow
Two quiet souls where wild things grow
Paper petals unfold slow
Dawn retrieves the soaked envelope
Seeds dispersed on morning wind
Two strangers part with muddy shoes
Roots connected underground
Paper petals unfold slow
Hydrangea hearts in parking glow
Two quiet souls where wild things grow
Paper petals unfold slow
Rain writes on the asphalt
Nylon strings hum low
