Poetry By Matt Borczon

​
Plant flowers
 
in the
skulls of
your enemies
 
plant flowers
in the
whiskey bottle
you drank
from alone
 
plant flowers
in old shoes
in belated
birthday cards
 
plant flowers
in the city
dump in
bags of
groceries in
the box
your ex
returned your
stuff in
 
plant flowers
on the international
space station
on the deserts
of Afghanistan
on the White
House lawn
on the steps
of the Kremlin
in the rubble
of all
the burned
bombed buildings
of the Ukraine
 
plant flowers
on the battlefield
on the mountains
on the prairies
 
in the city
on your street
in the yard
of your
neighbor the
one who
has been
alone since
her husband
died plant
flowers just
plant flowers
 
it is a
small thing
a way to
not give
up a
way to
just keep
believing
plant flowers.
