We steal the river rocks from Safeway

to separate the yard

you can't lift them

ask me

straighten

4

along the flow

of bottle tree shade

of roots in mulch I pick up

you

in pixels of fescue

warm under leaves

and bones

curious curious in private structure

to leave only 3

rocks would invite symmetry

"include the tree"

you say

through french doors on the news

no one is a bomb
