want to start a farm?
want to start a farm?
he asks.
you mean quitting our jobs
and taking day trips to the outskirts
of the city to flex and bend
underneath unfractured sunlight,
soak in fresh soil and coax
a plot of earth to carry to term
the fruits of our labor, with crisp
air between our teeth?
i just want to grow strawberries
on our roof, he replies.
