LAVENDER from Lavender by RUINER

I see you in the garden
planting sorrel in tyres
and I bitch until the evening
about the cuts on my delicate hands.

I see you planting flowers
...a bed full of lavender...
in the early spring/summer.
It’s a smell that I never could stand.

I see you in the kitchen;
you’re plating up something
for me and my sisters.
All your rings on the windowsill and

I see you cutting flowers
...a vase of hydrangea...
in the Indian summer.
I’d have helped but you never would ask.

I’m feeling low.
Just tell me it’s all in my head.
Maybe I’m just too stoned again.

I’m feeling low
but maybe I’m just too stoned again.
