Root Extraction

The root, the root, the roots are rotting.
Jaundiced leaves- stunted growth.
Lushness leaves, begins to thin, warning me to clip dead ends.
I look at you and I see me —
wistful wilted straining sad.
Sadness thick and sour grows, rooting in your heart and soul.
The plant the plant the plant is damaged yet, I feel it can be kept.
the roots are twisting - bending — black. I’ll clip them off and pray you’ll last.
