Withering away on the windowsill, reflecting on the potential I had yesterday. My leaves are shriveled now, my stem leaning. My soil is dry as a bone. I fear now, that even if the window opened, I would be burned by the sun and float away piece by piece with the wind. Oh how I hope my sister plants are faring better than I.
