                                                       < gardens >
                                               
                                                we had wanted to be gardens
                                               
                                                filled
                                               
                                                with flowers and bees
                                               
                                                industrious
                                               
                                                to fit into this world
                                               
                                                at the joyful places
                                               
                                                the bright connections
                                               
                                                            - - -

Hey rayheinrich,
when i read this poem it made me feel like your writing about a person in your past who you felt intimate with and shared the same feelings with. Perhaps another perspective would be the society as whole felt this way, or children who want to grow up and thinking about how great it will be to be adults.
