We shot through the ground At the same time And while you pushed your way Towards the sun Drinking up the light I cleared the gravel So the others Could find their way too. Weeds Have to be quick Lest they end their days Under the hiss of a spray bottle Or the blunt end of a shovel So I learned to hide Between the sunflower minstrels And the corned eared zinnias While you stretched your Peppered veins To lap up the rain And poison what fell to the ground Choking Everything. You were a giant child And yet I loved you Deeply So deeply Only the mole crickets knew And I hated you too Because I was nothing But a **** Beneath your feet.
