Alfred is my friend,
glowing in the windowsill
coughing with karma.
He is a peaceful
lovely little basil plant
but he may be sick--
black spots on leaves tell
that an infestation grew,
but I love him more.
water and quick snips,
coarse lullabies and sunshine
I hope he will live,
because goodness knows
such a lovely companion
can’t forsake my poor nose.
