The Sunsets are the Same
The sun rises
From the east
And sets in the west
Carpobrotus edulis Adenium obesum
Verbenas and ‘Alice du Pont’ Mandevilla
Different but the same rise and set of swirls
Verbenas and ‘Alice du Pont’ Mandevilla
Carpobrotus edulis Adenium obesum
And sets in the west
From the east
The sun rises
The sunrises are the same
On rooftops in Senegal
Carpobrotus awaits
Adenium stretch
Relish the breeze
As dark becomes light
Gloriosa superba sneaks
In its nourishment a fierce blaze
Live grow prosper
The sunsets are the same
At windows in New York
Verbenas prepare
Mandevilla settle
Dream of tomorrow
As light becomes dark
Coreopsis lanceolata retreats
Wisping away longingly
For tomorrow
Live grow prosper
The same
The sunrises are the same
The sunsets are the same
