your favorite flower and why
orchids
When I walk through the fields, red backpack slung across my shoulders, grass and wheat skimming my knees,
I often go past
heather
nettles
and wild orchids.
I like the wild orchids best because they’re beautiful and they smell nice and they remind me of the first time
I saw an orchid.
when I still live in a city and, starved of nature, I dreamt
Of my room filled with them.
Like living in a garden.

Love the imagery. I too would love to do that.
