composting
i pruned today,
cleaning jagged wounds
after that mindless storm tore at every green thing,
and so much was lost.
but some was left,
and the soil is good.
now things can heal.
and every day, it seems
i find some new vegetable or fruit in the fridge
to toss onto the compost.
i’m not troubled by it.
come warmer weather,
i’ll have so many volunteers.
