The Present

 

Thank you for the present, it’s beautiful.
I’ve kept it in my room all these years.

Everyday I look at it and think of you.
That silly green spiky thing, just like us.

I heard you died on June 8th.
I opened my curtains. Birds were feeding in the garden.
Parrots. They were so noisy and funny.
