Pothos

Marble leaves dangle in spirals hanging above blades of grass, Coiling like a head of unruly greens descending from a brown, soily scalp – A medusa. Splotches of white splatter on dark, deep, lush green as new stems Careen in singles, doubles down to the nourishing earth below. Beads of water skitter across a marble face, spilling to the soil. As light fades on cool spring nights, you sit suspended in the blue-grey sky, An image of durability, endurance, beauty despite circumstance.
