The lesson is simple:
Wear gloves,
because this is muddy effort
that works its way
beneath fingernails
the unplanned roots
grab hard, unwilling to leave
soil this well-tended
& welcoming
some are beautiful
but leaving them
will choke & stunt
what feeds us
Ok now I’m not crying, I’m smiling.:) Sweet poem.:) Going to go weed.:)
