You are like a cactus

April 23, 2020

Dedicated to Milton, my friend, who gave me the confidence to put this out.

You are like a cactus
prickly needles cover you.
There is water and greeness
under the quills
but I can't reach them.
Perhaps, I should plunge.
Should I?

You don't bend to me.
The closest thing
is the needles.
Why?
How can I reach you?
Where are you?
