[dVerse] May 4th - Bloom: Filed Under Pending

Bloom: Filed Under Pending

Tuesday arrived late,
wearing Monday’s floral badge.

I opened the prompt
like unpaid mail.

Inside: bloom.

Garden bloom? No.
Obedient marigold? No.

More like fungus
on old grief:
tender, suspicious,
still choosing light

from the damp corner
where I had filed
myself under
pending.
