Today was a total Monday of a Tuesday but at least I had an Easter egg
Spoiler! :
I want to get at least one more "proper" poem in by the end of the month, but little bits like this STILL COUNT.

Spoiler! :
Today I went the furthest I've been from home in over a month, to help my friend with some medical needs. It was strange and strangely normal.
I like the idea of the structure in this, but I feel like I'm too tired to do it justice. One to come back to.

daydreaming of gardens; of damp soil crumbling through fingers, patted down into pots, soaking up water from the can; of feathery carrot tops and broad, veined cabbage leaves, shifting gently in a quiet breeze; of flowers, grasses, sticks and stones; daydreaming of gardens and seeds I could have sown.
