#25 – Southern cacti
I was given a body
I used to be sappy
I used to have no thorns
I used to be so small
I used to be so tall
I used to hold leaves
I went through aridity
It let me realize
I can revive
Wherever it is
Because I have a deep root
They go straight into the earth’s core
Find a groundwater
Pour to the South
To the nine tributaries of the Mekong River
To fade the color of the alluvial red water
Here I am, your little southern cacti’s home.
