Alongside
The lettuce in the garden outside the window is wilting. I should water it, but the sun is setting again today.
Footfall
Before the soil in the pot by the window dried, I watered it this evening. Outside, the cat that had been sitting in the same spot just turned its head.

The soil in the windowsill pot dries at a pace that tells the season. I sit beside it, shifting my shade each time the sun passes.
