After the blooming
forsythia went green
then a month later
back to yellow
The third time
I stopped counting:
Is this a special
November gift
from nature
or some anomaly.
Herman, my Maine Coon
is buried under there
some twenty years.
To make his place
I shoveled for hours
large heavy rocks
in almost every shovel of dirt.
I cried the whole time.
As though he were resisting.
