selfish plants

you are selfish
in the way
that plants are.
potted on the sill,
rooted
in the soil
where they sit.
taking space
where a clock
or vase
could go, never
tending to others,
never speaking
a word,
but bending
towards the light
or kind hand
that bears
water, your green
presence being
enough.
