In darkness, forced . . .
Longing is a plant, often forced, and it can be bitter,
So bitter, it is commonly sweetened with sugar.
Longing is grown everywhere, sometimes it dies back
And is not visible, but at other times it thrives
And grows vigorously. Early longing is tender
And is usually harvested by candlelight.
Longing, if damaged by coldness and the frost
Of disapproval and rejection, can cause illness.
The colour of longing varies from bright red,
To pale and listless faded green.
