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
how does one make a monstera thrive?
do you actually need to trim
the biggest leaves?
or is it a bigger pot that i need
to hold in all these trailing vine-roots
as they escape their confines
and go searching for something to climb?
or is it simply the air around us
better humidified would do it?
or maybe a spritz of water once
or twice
a day?
i mean, my monsteras are all fine
they’re doing
fine
but i really
desperately
want them to
thrive
