A wish to be a big cactus, With a pink flower on it.

Crochet Cactus

“And in the sea there is a fish,
A fish that has a secret wish,
A wish to be a big cactus
With a pink flower on it.

And the flower
Would be its offering
Of love to the desert.
And the desert,
So dry and lonely,
That the creatures all
Appreciate the effort.”

Kimya Dawson
