petals

you are delicate
and i am, too

we are petals
of the flower
we make

a lovely
little
thing

not fitting
for a spring bouquet
or funeral wreath
but only decorating
this ragged plat

our sanctuary

us,
at home

safe for now
amid all
that thrives
and dies
around us

Author's Note
So lucky to have sanctuary in these days of fear and loathing.
Even with illness, our lives are blessed.
