raking the yard of dried maple leaves
sun hiding behind the closed gates
opening, we were gone
pulling out weeds by the roots
(the worst weeds grow upside down in us)
dissatisfied with what was planted
dancing alone, together
two helicopter blades
arms barely missing one another
pushing each other on the swing
until we pinch our hands
in the chains

It's so wonderful how you yoke together these disparate images. This is so focused and has so much truth.
Hiya, Holly. I like this one, too.
thank you thank you...wouldn't know where it came from really...I have no personal experience with this sort of thing...;)
interesting the play of opposites,
the hard action: pulling, raking,
helicopter blades.
