Wilting on my desk,
notifications ignored—
plants crave my timeline.
Dry leaves on the floor,
lost in endless scroll again—
green turns to brown dust.
Phone rests, screen darkens,
hands find the watering can—
gentle drops on thirsty soil.
Digital pause, breathe,
water trickles through dry roots—
green revives gradually.
