not now

everything is growing that is not supposed to

like intrusive thoughts in the recesses of the mind

onions sprouting fingers green and reaching 

from the papery bulb shedding, shedding

can i learn from this fragile breaking apart

I toss them in the compost bag the synthetic green offensive somehow

a heaviness that is permanent

permaness I want to say but that is not a word

it is a made up word in between spanish and english

tangled in a way that I am not often do I have a right to be

this halfness , when I log in to try to right this poem

google asks me for my home address and I click the button

that says not now.
