Proverb
And so at winter's end her perennial bounty
Put forth leaves, having become a small tree
By then, and was set near the window in its urn;
Really a marvel – six years to have gone, and still
That astounding florescence, white and sinewy green,
While ours would flag long before summer did,
Not that we had inferior seed or mould,
Or were stingy with water, or that none of us had
Green fingers. But hers throve. It was like a child
Who waits for Something Awful to happen, tense
Beyond distraction and shining and all the while
Fixed in indifference, tree in the tight urn.
