A pile of leaves



A pile of leaves
Is not so far
From where
I'll be
Waiting on
Planting time

Working the scratchy
Tools of sand
Ripping roots
And piling
Stones

Dotting these
Folded hills
Weedy cairns
Set to rest
Unreasoned till

The shadows
Crossing above
Wonder aloud
When the earth
Will open

All static
Comes to mulch
A midden overgrown
With lilac bush
