“Senescence”


“Senescence”

cji
10/8/17

How young I feel I am
yet weary with this aging
less active in my body
mind racing to completion
whereas the plant cries
chlorophyll I but oxygen
more and more escaping
causing autumn to flee
winter seeking her entrance
all too soon or just in time
so close sometimes past
yet weary with this aging
how young I feel I am!

Plant senescence is the process of aging in plants.
