Let the grass grow
Unfettered to your blade
And Glad in the shine

Neuter these neutral grounds
No more; Let them wild
As forgotten graves
Grave in their spiteful celebration

• a simple matter of conviction
• the window of irrelevance
• a little anyplace
• the pattern of home
• the unshifting star
• a special place in hell

Mom

Your blood runs through me
Keeps me warm
On cold nights
