A cactus in the desert 


is uglier than a flower in a greenhouse.
Not as green,
not as fragrant either,
and the thorns clinging to it all over
make it less refined too.

Still,
it cuts into its own flesh

to offer a slightly lighter day to keep going on .
A small heart-red hope .

To that ordinary daily life..
to those ordinary people.
