Old Concrete Soul (Cashmere Holloway)

And Past is screaming,

Go

Go

Go

Where no one can ever forget you again.

But you give me that stupid, stupid look that makes flowers bloom in the cracks of my old concrete soul.

I smile, and you move on like your work is done, but I wrap my weary cliff-edge fingers around the flowers you’ve given me.

I think I will water them

Forever forever forever.
