End of The Wild
by Joanna Gilman Hyde
The Tomato-coloured Couch 1:50pm
Eye have seen my first and last
Flock of goldfinches flitting
Amongst thistle-like flowering weeds
To have become my summer backyard–
Tomorrow it gets mowed
By a man I have yet to meet
In an effort to move my house
Into the rest
Of this tidy neighbourhood

Don’t do it! .Wait till they fly south, they will need the food. To hell with your tidy neighbors 😉
Hi Lisa! Eliza is here and has suggested leaving a large curve-sided patch for the birds. The mower is coming tomorrow morning to look at it and I will describe the cut. A hair style for the lawn! Btw the front of the house will be mowed around where my painting is lying out flat. Thank you for your comment!! Eliza has been watching the goldfinches too. Am enjoying her company.
