drowning in the dirt

Planted like an annual in a ground on a planet unknown

Left to face the wind on my own

The rivaling vines and weeds

My roots grow deeper and I begin to want to bloom underground

Dirt shadows my color that the sun fades each hour

In the quiet of the night, I live for no one

Retiring to myself

Dwelling on the minutes

The rain is my only caretaker, but I must share it with the rest

I look towards the winter to frost my breath.
