My Friends, Moving House
My friends, moving house
bring me their pots —
terracotta and white
ceramic —
of gota cola and
chives
and, for my front
steps,
tiny purple flowers
dotting the dark green
stems and leaves.
They bring them to me
smiling.
I cry out with joy
to receive.
The came, bearing lovely gifts. How nice of them. Lovely capturing of their thoughtfulness.
ReplyDeleteYes, it was very nice of them! :)
DeleteA gift of goodbye - for remembrance. My mother always had a superstition that you shouldn't say thank you for plants or they won't grow. I find myself thinking of that whenever I'm gifted a plant!
ReplyDeleteyour expressed joy for receiving these beautiful gifts is your thank you, without having uttered the words.
