A Weed in a Yard Where a Fence Has Fallen

A Weed In A Yard Where A Fence Has Fallen


I breathe,
My breath goes out into the world.

I breathe,
The thin stem of a tall weed
With a flower, pink-white,
Moth-shaped,
Quivers.

The flower thanks me for supplying music
For her dance,
Spreads open her pink-white wings.
