I don’t need flowers,
to have a garden
I just need seeds,
where promise blossoms
I don’t need pieces,
to solve a puzzle
I just need words,
their teeth unmuzzled
I don’t need time,
its grand illusion
I just need space,
re-entry’s fusion
I don’t need liars,
defying reason
I just need truth
—my faith in season
