recipe for falling out of love

take two spoonfuls of

uncomfortable behaviour

a cup of uncertainty

and a pinch of indifference

stir into an empty bowl and beat until blended

cry over the bowl for ten minutes

daily

until the bowl is full, and you are empty

pour the liquid

into a plastic container

freeze

do not consume

remove from freezer after six months

thaw in the sun

squeeze five drops of liquid over flower seedlings daily

until the flowers bloom,

pick one,

pluck single petals

until you love them not

toss the petals into the wind

as they scatter

know you are free
