Plants

In the garden, flowers speak to me
They turn slightly toward the sun they see
Red and blue you are the shadow
Why is Lara talking to a plant?
In the forest, trees hear more than leaves
They talk to me with electric speech
In a language, no one translates
Pretending it’s not odd to whisper
Acting normal, like no one hears her
Wild, green ivy
Do you try to speak?
When I am walking
Oh, do you know it’s me?
People say it’s easy to talk to
Other humans creeping next to you
But I never seem to get through
Why is Lara talking to a plant?
Underground a seed turns to a sprout
Fungus talking out of roots they shout
In a language, no one translates
Pretending it’s not odd to whisper
Acting normal like no one hears her
Wild, green ivy
Do you try to speak?
When I am walking
Oh, do you know it’s me?
