now their numbers are waning
the plants I watered for my mom
only a few remain

I know the feeling….all mine are gone now.
Poignant, as if the dying plants are all that’s left of your mom…
Do the plants fewer mean the memory is fading too? Maybe not but that’s what this poem makes me wonder.
This conveys such a sense of loss overs a passage of time. Powerful.
