Lackadaisical
Improbable poetry
Penned in quarantine

Intimidating
April electricity
Buzzing through windows

Diabolical
Kissing individuals
Visit the neighbours

Appreciating
Thunderclaps overmorrow
Celebrate the rain

Multiplication
Of identifications
Cause unease today

Communication
Is incomprehensible
My voice overwhelms

Abominable
Abomination adopts
Anything I feel

Generosity
With rationalisation
Makes delicious cake

Imagination
Rewriting biography
With happy ending

Globalisation
Altered personality
Into a cover

The ground rose
Meeting my face
Refreshing, I laid
Inhaling shame
Wondering
Why don’t we hear people
Discussing the smell of stone?
It rocks

The story is sad
You stepped in with a closed heart and closed mind
But you said open
I find this hard to believe
That the child deceived
You

And if she did lie
I cannot fathom why
An open heart or open mind
Could decide
On abandoning
A human

Ume is the name of my petals
But you don’t celebrate them
You splash with berries
And my more popular relatives
Without thought of me
Drowning in a raindrop
