Alone in a Window

I've left you alone
day after day,
parched,
longing for air
trapped beneath
my window
stretching to
peek out,
praying for
a quick breath-
a single drop
of fresh air,
moisture
something,
anything

hang on

my dear friend-
my mom,
or husband,
perhaps my son-
one day
will reach out
and befriend you.

your life
may go on
oh, green
and lifeless
fern

hang on

they said
you were hardy

hang on
