What happens when
An object starts to have
A life of its own
And only when a certain
Person is spoken of
Or thought about

In 2015
When I became a miracle
My guardian angel
Great aunt Mira

Turned a potted fern into a
Spirit plant
The first time it happened
Standing on top of the grill

In my peripheral vision
With the wind blowing
Easily not enough for the
Acrobatics I saw

The living creation
Catapulted 180 degrees
Off the BBQ contraption
Without any explanation
Of how

My mom was thinking of
Mira at that exact moment
As I sat on the deck

Spirit plant has pulled
Similar unexplainable
Events since

Most recently
It somehow moved
On its own from the banister
To the deck floor

Without spilling any dirt
And chucking its under plate
Into the bushes on the other side

Where's the logical explanation?
Even if my mom
Who doesn't believe in the
Spiritual paranormal
Says the neighbor came by

That he or his kids knocked
Her over
How would that explain
The pristine condition
No soil anywhere

They didn't vacuum our deck
How could she move
One way completely perfectly
Other than being a bit lopsided now
While her under plate was
In the bushes

We call this
Spirit plant
Mira
After who moved her first

While my mom
Tries to find the logical explanation
For this one
I just smile
Knowing who really moved
Spirit plant
