Quarantine Poem #4

I have lost you in a lotus flower pond
When I entered your house
The white staircase leads to an empty
room
Once I knew everything about us
The self grown vegetables on the kitchen counter
The fruit bowl only filled with
lemons
A clock on the wall shaped like
sunshine
The moon looking through the window
At the ceiling
The cat died from eating bleach
And my love died from drinking poison
You fed me foul vegetables for a decade
And here is your can full of worms
Since I’m your pandora
I miss the white staircase
The clock shaped like sunshine
The lemons bitter waiting in a bowl
A cat’s skeleton in your yard
The scent of lotus covering up the smell
Of a rotten corpse
Admitting,
I’m still thinking of you secretly
While trying to purge the poison
You fed me for a lifetime
