Weed Season
Weed Season

Weeds pulled leave roots underground.
Spades aid in a mindless endeavor
I routinely begin late,
by end of
summer.
Why does it take so long for a dull expression to fade,
realize the toil cemented in this yard
with each new infestation
plying the surface
to harvest?

I lay in the maw to view once nimble fingers,
soiled, dull, nails cracked, and quit,
return inside and soap up,
forget another day and
dream of fall.
Leaves shudder, tumble and mix with the pine's
debt, like straw on decaying crop.
I witness winter's white toll
as a chill sets
to dry.

Layers of thick cotton bind under the duvet.
I crawl beneath to clutch pillows tight,
hold to a thinning chest, aching
for some new season
come, now.
Dry eyes fade in black visions, hopeless
in a sagging bed with labor's heat
blasting our gray bodies,
yearning next spring
renews us.
