PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

A Christmas cactus was
retrieved from the apartment
building dumpster.
Then a friend gave me an
Easter lily... I told her to give
it to someone else... that I
was not taking on any new dependency
relationships. A week
later a church custodian handed
me another Easter lily....
he was preparing to toss.
The blooming lily was put next to the
cactus which bloomed for the first
time in many moons this week.
