Bud Poem by Meghan Fenwick-Boland

Bud

I saw a single flower bud,
About ready to make its grand debut
so full of anticipatory rapture;
The next day -eaten- by a slug.

It made me think back
to us-

Those feelings crystalised,
Like a dormant infection.

Shuttered closed, burst open like spring.
Those raw nerve endings,
hadn't covered over with new skin;

They were just still.
