root bound

I read this piece at an open mic in October 2018, have since changed the name and one word; thought I had shared it here, but can’t find the evidence.  So, here’s the middle stanza of “rootbound”:

my porous stalk, a sponge

my bound roots wallow stagnant water

I loathe this stink

how it snakes

grips the rocks

cracks my terracotta
