Barrel Cactus
I have been talking
to my Barrel cactus
for the last few days.
It reminds me of you,
an enchanting flower
protected by sharp spines.
It does not talk.
We do not touch.
I watch it grow
but it does not change.
I give it water it does not need.
I feel nostalgic.
I have been talking to my cactus
for a long time now.
