if i were a bird i’d be a vulture

if i were a bird i’d be a vulture
if i were a plant i’d be a cactus
if i were a coin i’d be penny
-
if you were a bird you’d be a peacock
if you were a plant you’d be a water lily
if you were a coin you’d be a quarter
-
no one would want me
when they could have you
lavender

i was saved by a lavender
at a time i didn’t know i needed saving
like the sun
their smile radiates far
five months feels like five years
every second is valuable
the numbness i have felt for so long
is starting to disappear
now that my home is here
they are the best thing
i never knew i needed
