i watered your plants today
i think i'm going to get into gardening
you know, pick up where you left off
i feel connected to you out there
i still have no idea what i'm doing
i wish i would have asked more questions
but still
there's something so nice about
getting my hands covered in soil
and washing them off at the faucet
to the side of the house
the water coming from it is always so cold
there's still dirt under my fingernails
i can’t stop thinking about
the dirt under your fingernails
i love you, dad
