Audrey II

Fear. My whole life is guided by it.

I pull and pull at the weeds

Trying to remove them from my life

But right when I think I’ve removed

The last impediment in my way forward.

A new, stronger weed grows right up

In its stead, whispering quiet words

In my ear…for more, more food

Asking for my most precious resource,

My dreams.
