Another weeding marathon underway
I sift the soil for dark brown roots
no thicker than IV sharps
topside budding
curled translucent fingers extinguishing
gravity for light to manufacture
chlorophyll leaf by branching vine
to climb & twine & strangle
prickly pear heedless of spines
not that vines stop cactus
or portulaca or creeper grass
because desert denizens bear with en-
tanglements though our plants
coreopsis & pineapple sage
& daylilies might not.

| Portulaca oleracea, purslane, verdolaga |
