#azaleas
Moss, and evergreens.
Pale azaleas and vines that grow tall with the warmth of spring.
I hope morning glories sprout their soft wings with the rise of the sun, light filtering through branches of leaves that hang so delicately above.
I hope for milk thistle,
Venus fly traps and nettles.
Sprouts pushing from the earth with a grace that’s invisible to the human eye.
Even with the greatest patience.

oh, silly gardener
when will you concede?
azaleas will simply never grow
from mere old papaya seeds
you blame it on the soil
you blame it on the weather
now it's drowning in excess water
can't you see how much it suffers?
i know you love azaleas
but please just stop and ponder
what you sowed were papaya seeds
and they are too a wonder
it's not how you tried to prune them
or because of your undevotion
but what you sowed were papaya seeds
growing beautifully in your garden
