tending the garden, by Jeremy Dusseault

tending the garden

i just noticed that

there is damage done

but

there’s growth too

there are

brown spots

(and decay)

but

a bit of green too

(around the edges)

I know i made

some parts wither

but i also know

i made others grow

I have waited Or Maybe not I have sacrificed, Or....maybe not

If ever There comes a moment Where I cease To push myself to be more

To tend wounds Take stock Of whatever we think Just happened. To gather up
