Embracing A Cactus Poem by Dyhanara Rios

Embracing A Cactus



Her needles warned you to stay away
But you crossed the boundary anyway
You held her tight until you bled
You longed to place a kiss on her forehead
You vowed to save it for the last day
So you could avoid the price you'd pay

You shed your tears in silence
Since she never needed the rain
You had it all down to a science
Every detail, complex or plain

Oh, no, she never needed the rain
