Salt lamp silent sentinel to November’s progression.
Leaves from long loyal living room plant pale in solidarity with goldenrod brethren.
New shoots encouraging search for larger vessel.
New place in which to dwell.
Shedding still.
Growing still.
Loyal still.
The green man never dies,but with each spring is reborn.
As perennials, shed everything possible in each life,
die until no longer subject to cyclical existence.
