"and im writing this

and i know im a visual person

and it’s not like

you’ll write back

from the far edges

of outer space

but one day i’ll get there

and i’ll hug you

and i’ll say i missed you

and i’ll say i love you

until then

i check on the plants

in the greenhouse

i check for bugs

i check the moisture of the soil

i check the dust on the leaves

And when no one’s around

i hum to them"
