look out for that root
it’s awful lonely in this box
but the beauty of it is
you can hear everything
the first thing I’m gonna do
when I break out
is move that hazelnut bush
away from the fence
roots seem to all ball up
and intermingle endlessly
when they got no place to go
but thanks to the spade
nothing ever stays
quite the same
from this season to the next
january two thousand seventeen
