Image for the poem Oh

Oh

The buzzing of wings in
     the backyard ivy.
Cold nights.
Clear days.
So many stones in my soil,
     so few of what I grew.

I till it under
     only to try again next year.

Like a starving man
     digging for potatoes.
     I am the blight
          that slowly kills what I love.
