I had to keep back tears
when I discovered
that the plant
which I had nourished over years
first in a ***
then in the tiny frontyard garden
where it had after a while
found its space amid the dominance
of honeysuckle & the bougainvilleas
had simply been cut off at the stem
by the guy I had paid to clip the hedge
which he actually butchered to a degree
that it looked like shrubs by the trenches of World War I
devastated by artillery, grenades, and machine guns
I think I will not ask
for his services any more
