Names of Plants

I do not know the name
of most of these plants and flowers
growing here; but I know the croton
sitting broad atop time-rusted branches
lining the yard like a border.

Stay There

Child, as I throw you
high up in the air
I wish you remain suspended there
like Trishanku pinned to the heavens
.
