overcast, sans rain
an opportunity for lawn mowing
rotting plums

peat bogs
depleted by gardeners
for the sake of ericaceous plants
not native to the region.
As a gardener, I applaud the decision
to ban its use and sale
in the name of preservation
and combating climate change.
I remember selling bales of it
from my father's side business
building my teenage muscles
as I loaded customer cars.
