Bleeding climbers...by jupinderjit singh

The climber in the pot
scales the wire mesh

One square at a time
And spread its arms

Entwined to
the cold rusty iron

Sprouting a flower here
And there, as it heads towards the top

Cruel hands, pull away the pot
tendrils bleed
And the shrub is lost.

this was what destiny had bound
climbers growing in pots
cant have roots in the ground.

dependence-of any form gives pain, dear poet.
