Fewer peppers, eggplants, and tomatoes each time you check,
the last big mess of beans,
the last full tray of romas,
one perfect unexploded chestnut,
the blooms from below
visit us briefly
in the air up here.
You expect moss in the woods, on rocks,
here and there.
But it’s spreading under the Chinese Chestnut trees
hundreds, thousands, of square feet.
Grass will argue in some places,
but the grass has surrendered in most places.
Not exactly new this year, but accelerated,
from decades of not spreading lime,
or from some fresh factor,
from changes in the climate?
It’s soft and pretty and can’t be mowed,
ideal for a graveyard.
