Beside the foxglove,
planted loudly to the drum
of my Nan's eventual euthanasia,
I smoke a King
behind a wall of potato chips and chocolate
and ash.
The tattoo on my right foot
is truly red under the white light
that overcasts the sky,
bland strands of puff to add to.
The wind blows untied pieces of hair
across my face
and it annoys my nose.
Poems and tokes to finish.

Beautifully atmospheric. This reminded me of
another poem you had written a couple of weeks
back. I really loved this one.:)
I have noticed foxglove for the third time
in recent weeks. I really liked 'wall of potato chips..'. That is a profound addition in the present context and works brilliantly.[After
introducing the reader to Nan's euthanasia.]
The white light, strands of puff and untied pieces of hair add so many layers to the event.
There is a pained melancholy in the small events, in the very happening. The ending reflects the overall mood with a sense of finality.
I hope to read more soon.:)
Write on, poetess

Thank you, Sumeet. It's one of my favourite plants below Belladonna and wild poppies.

I have to agree with Sumeet, I do not think it could be worded any better. Thank you for sharing it with us.
