Kerri Shying R - # 362 and the new garden goes in

and the new garden goes in

this time  passed   undented

on your skin   galactic  minutes

scurry

fast the beetles see the

lawn men

on approach

goodbye the red poinsettia

it’s time to plan anew

all growth lopped

back    bare to bone

fairer

than the fairest skin 

dark truths

left  congealed

            the meat

that held me all the winter

through        took shape

into this

my face   gazing out

at you
