THREE

AN ORCHARD IS A FOREST WE BROKE

Walk with me the rows and whir: poor trees poor trees

poor wildness clipped, fruit plucked, ugly branches robbed

of the weight of little animals. Pears rot around the roots,

blind black eyes in yellow skin infolding, eaten from inside

by neglect and wet. Along down the row and earth bends

away from them toward naked dirt between, and here,

in the cold cradle of winter, we wear high vulcanized boots,

and I work hard each day to remain in the world with you.
