Reap What Is Neglected To Sow
When all has fallen,
when hell is outside your door,
the whispers of monsters become wallowing screams-
and tar flows through your veins.
Water the dandelions growing between concrete tiles.
Even when you are too far gone, use your dying breath to help.
Rub the back of a child who fell from their bike,
Say thank you regardless of who will hear,
Be kind, for cruelty reaps sorrow.
A mind that destroys is the same that could heal.
