that mom stopped making lemonade as an excuse to cut down the lemon tree.
But really, what memories do I have?
Indoors was away enough
from the dust and black widows,
spider webs and white sap.
You were a punishment.
When I got caught lying, dad sent me into the garden to collect dead leaves.
Dressed like a migrant,
I never watered you.
