.  they too
lean into light
as if they are real
as if green mesh
their stems are glued in
is earth and worm
they fantasize
of being pulled
of being given
by a lover
of hands folded over
their torn roots
to slow their death

they dream of growing old
of browning on the kitchen table
of a woman who smiles at them
and washes dishes

polyester petals
of the bloom nearest me
sprouts against my ear
whispers
.  you too
are one of us
