Literature Text

I think I was one of the green children. Buried in me is a garden.
I think I’m growing from the outside in.
Visitors reach out to touch me, and
my blossoms are wilting
branches drooping from the weight of all the things that I can’t take
I close the gate against their onslaughts, but they still come in.
