Our prayer plant
returned from the dead
several times.
She prays every night.
my stripling avocado trees
grown from the pits
tipped over in transit
and never recovered
the hanging, trailing
house plants of our youth —
no longer a fad,
where do they grow?
My avacados died and the pits no longer grow for me. Those trailing philodendrons inherited from my mother are lush and green, looking better then they did in the blue pigeon pot on her bookcase.
Elegantly put! The question you end on haunts.
