watching our monstera grow
upwards
outwards
and
downwards

the roots spread as far
if not farther
than the stems and leaves and fenestrations themselves
searching for more soil
to vine across the ground

i wish i could give you twelve pots in a row,
little monstera,
to feed your searching
climbing
down

but for now, i suppose i’ll
let the root dangle
and see if you find anything
interesting
in this indoor living space
you’re stuck inside
