    "The Forsythia Mirror"
    Pruning.
    Cutting off unwanted leaves
    and twigs.
    Unwanted
    growths and changes,
    unneeded.
    Keeping myself
    in stasis;
    in control;
    under control.
    And, under the grassy lawn,
    roots grow deep.
    Thin, pale tendrils
    revel in the black
    soil of the garden,
    invisible
    beneath the cement divide,
    even as it buckles.
