Blooming Friendship
March 31, 2022

All Stems
Lacking Leaves
Flowers refuse to bloom
Reproductive Rest
No pollen to attract Spreaders
Pinched petioles
Leaves left for other occasions
For smoking?
Ephemeral energy
Should have been mine
Now wafts lazily
Cleansing another's room
The stems are vibrant
Verdant
Erect with purpose
Nurturing nutrients flow
Sustaining nothing
Creating nothing
Nothing
My hope for flowers
For sharing my love
and unfurling leaves
For vitality
Rests with the rain
That fails to fall
