Houseplant

Placed myself
into a pot
I made myself
with clay

I waited
for the sunlight
but then
it never came

I parched the soil
so I could sleep
and sleep and sleep
all day

And when I woke,
I noticed
I had started to
decay

I took myself
out of the pot
and sat
under the rain

I quenched my thirst
but needed more
for me
to live again
