Violet Valentine

Have you considered the Verbena
As I have staring and staring
Do you wonder how water works
Into the roots that sucking sound
In relation to the crusty leaves
Or how how much is not enough sun
To bring them to bloom again
How drowning roots and drying leaves
Have to negotiate under duress
Floods and deserts crossed
In search of a faithful gardener
Until finally their blooms rebuke me
What is it about violet at twilight
That brings me to my knees
