BULBPULSE

Coming back from digging up bulbs,
the sun was not risen,
i was first there,

dug up hundreds of them for replanting
and a flood of loved ones who could use these bulbs
came to me
their faces with their needs.

Of course you will say when i come home,
these are not money,
this will not save our family home.
i understand.
i will dissolve into tears.

i will say “all these beautiful flowers will open”,
which will frustrate you,

and i will say:

“If you could feel my pulse under the frozen ground,
they would get planted”.
