i have let my coriander plant
wither to waste:
stems feeble and supplicant,
leaves shriveled to specks,
my entire coriander plant
is on its way to some unmarked
botanical morgue,
a future of nomadic dust
left to float for infinity.
when we choose to let something die
is it always necessary to cry?
i could have added water,
poured on some nutrients,
but why even bother?
