Basil with tomatoes. What is the equivalency of basil and tomatoes in poetry?

Rare is the question that can be answered completely in 3 words -- pen and paper. Yes?

    This/ you?

    Molten stripes of longing
    left me lonely
    for a while.

    Net becomes the barest way
    to get up on the boat-- a ladder
    seems a better way, a funnel for some climb
    but I am prone to slipping--
    Sit here beside me and spin around
    Madagascar,
