grassy
raze
you
weave
through
wounded
weeds
,
dropping
fistfuls
of
grass
on
top
of
existing
grass
,
thinking
this
might
make
what's
already
grown
grow
grassier
still
.
you
get
down
on
your
hands
and
knees
.
move
a
few
leaves
around
.
you
don't
like
the
way
they're
looking
at
you
.
you
stomp
on
bewildered squares
of
sod
that
have
no
soil
to
seep
into
,
doing
all
you
can
to
will
this
threadbare
plan
into
paying
off
.
you
clear
your
throat
and
scowl
at
your
phone
when
it
screams.
you
water
the
patchwork
pastureland
with
your
garden
hose
,
knowing
rain
is
on
the
way
.
you
don't
trust
nature
to
do
what
you're
unable
to
.
you
walk
back
and
forth.
back
and
forth.
back
and
forth.
you
do
this
all
morning
and
into
the
afternoon
.
