6th July 2021

 



under a leaden sky
the whump whump of machinery
Walton builders

cleavers
winding around the beans,
the tomatoes, the currants.
I strip it away by the handful
but the roots release the bodies
and live onward, tenacious
like the bindweed around the lupins
and the front border
choked with the stuff
