You care about Palestine, the yellowed
Gulmohar, queer rights, stray black cats,
narcissistic abuse, your maid’s slippers,
foothpath cleanliness, mango milkshake,
period leave, landslides, body fat count,
your lover’s hair, child beggars, jaguars,
tadgola sellers, press freedom index,
your friends’ sadness, red lipstick, men,
waste imperialism, potassium in soil,
pressure cookers, saving urban forests,
ice candies, public infrastructure, and
everything else. You care for everyone,
your heart a deep well. But, my darling,
when will you care for yourself?
So love this and how it builds up to the end is so beautiful!
