Late-Blooming Wildflower

You grew in soil I never tilled,

yet here you are—

petals bright against the frost.

I water you with bedtime stories,

grandmother’s hands,

and the quiet promise:

no storm will name you “mistake.”

You were the detour he swore was home. I never hated you— only the mirror you held to his hunger. Sleep, stranger. Your baby braids my hair on Sunday
