The Weed

Bug

From the journal of Maud Pie—


I bared my heart to you, to let you know that I am not a stone

I tested you with silence, leaving you alone

There was a lot of time and pressure, a metamorphic pause

You had a broken leg when I found you, and I wrapped it up in gauze

You touched my heart, I made a splint

You have discovered I’m not made of flint

I can’t believe you ate a bug

Maud Pie
