Chlorophytum comosum


Yes, spider plant.
Yes, the backdrop is red.
To be specific, a red journal
& yes the words are waiting to appear.
Yes, they will be as sure
& steadfast as time.  Vibrant as red.
Precise as haiku.  Tenacious
as plants.  Words edible as the ripe
which appears on your dinner
plate.

    don't go
    don't go

    5. something about
    myself I cannot
    complete

    6. bridge they cross
    just to say
    can't even
    our diagonal embrace

    Is this a reference to the mislaid nature of affection? A central motif in an abandoned identity? Why must we complete ourselves....is it possible?
