there’s something big in the back seat
she’s moving you see
and everything must be stored for a month
blonde hair tresses shoulders and
she struggles carefully
but can’t get it out cleanly
a branch breaks off and a cloud settles
she nursed this plant from a small cutting
to large sturdy big-leafed presence
and now half is broken off
like a broken heart
can it be saved salvaged set
right
maybe broken branch can form new tendrils
living roots that can summon
water out of rich soil and live
it’s worth a try
