this year has healed over
smooth and new almost
the same shape as before and
we will be fine if we don’t think
about all those fingers gone missing
surely due to emerge
soon
blossoming like
mushroom caps the end
of something bright against clay
or where the hedge
gives way to sky abruptly
among shattered hazel
a wrist
