MY DOG HAS ROOTED HERSELF
IN UNTILLABLE AREAS WRAPPED
AROUND SOME BIG ROCKS AND
PENETRATED THE DENSEST
CLAY AT THE CORE OF MY HEART SO IF I YELL AT HER WHEN
SHE’S DONE SOMETHING WRONG
SHE BENDS WITH THE PAIN OF
A BULL-DOZED TRUNK WITH
TORN ROOTS EXPOSED
A FEW MINUTES AFTER THE DAMAGE IS DONE
WE WASTE NO TIME FOR THERE IS NONE
TO WASTE AND BURROW BACK INTO EACH
OTHER’S EARTH
