one looks to the sun . the other can remember . the reason it can’t
a path not taken . becomes overgrown, and soon . returns to nature
taking in sunlight . the indoor plant doesn’t care . that it’s not outdoors
under a storm cloud . it is easy to forget . that it too shall pass
we can imagine . a bird’s fictional story . in one lost feather
what looks like decay . is often shedding of what’s . no longer needed
how we see a field . of flowers, is how we see . the rest of the world
seen from a distance . it looks like an obstacle . but then the path curves
for a brief moment . the world lights up with colors . that will soon be lost
we still recognize . something by its name, even . removed from context
