Flowers burst from the abandoned toilet bowls (1/25)

Flowers burst from the abandoned toilet bowls
littering the skirts of the kind of deep trees with good posture
that most other places have forgotten once existed
In a careless way, they invited me to gawk at
their sensual queerness
I was a teenaged girl learning how to hook a bra right before these
bizarrely pretty toilets
beautiful in ways only women were
women who knew their worth and 
wore this certainty like their own skins
