Brown and withered
Who could foresee
How tenuous was the
Hold on earth
Embedded deep
Surrounded by soft
loam, lightly tethered
There was slight resistance
Efforts to replace
Prove futile
Remnants of what
Once appeared to thrive
Lie gathered among
Scraps decaying
In the morning sunlight

When the weather turns cold, hosta foliage "melts" like tissue paper. Clearing away this foliage in late fall will make way for new growth.
