layers of rock the softer
dirt collects, fountains with moist
leaves of mint, scilla, purple
hyacinth, and primula.
*
Boundaries, margins, hedgerows.
Maintaining separate fields.
But the leaves, branches, white hair
of roots press beyond fences.
*
The clouds have woven countries.
Rain falls here and somewhere else
you might be moving, your feet
touching the same earth as mine.
