Lantana

I'm the plant
left on the porch
with too much sun
for company
and not enough love
for security
Leaning into false hope
that you will bring
some relief soon
Across from me
a jealous-green spray
with popcorn bouquets of
sunshine yellow flowers
tainted with a shade of ignorance
blooms
and smiles with confidence
at your complete silence
and lack of penance
towards me
