So Obtuse I Weep Every Day
Leaves cling to branches like
detainees clasp fencing.
A red cylinder of explosives
stands upright in the back garden
beside a sapling, connected with
cloth strips to hold the sapling upright
– to make it grow straight
toward a vacant gray sky.
Over and over the land
becomes infested.
