Love Poem: Blooming

Written by: Patricia Henriques

Blooming

I am wet like a dewy leaf
the freezer we have just turned off
grass that has been watered
a face that has been kissed


Wet like whoever sneezed
or went out of the shower without a towel
a vagina that has just been loved
ground that rain has moistened


Ready to be plowed
cared for
penetrated
fertilized
and to bloom.
