An Alien, Organic Form
Why are you here?
Enclosed in hues not warm
Why are you here?
Semi-Aquatic plant you’ve dove
Why are you here?
Floated to lush mangrove
Why are you here?
You fluoro-orange buds converse with one another
But give you away before they even flower
Your Flower Seeds will fall and float
You could move if you wanted.
Cling to fish, wave or boat
You could move if you wanted.
Absorbing water to their head
You could move if you wanted.
Heavy, to the river’s bed
The seeds do have control over where they go
But you have journeyed to this mangrove
Happy: you are not
You know you don’t belong.
Little: what you have got
You know you don’t belong.
Choking: in shallows here
You know you don’t belong.
Murky: is water near
You know you don’t belong.
And yet, you are here
Why are you here?
Enclosed in hues not warm
Why are you here?

Why?
