The cactus eradication plan took a giant
step these past two days - gambled a bit
on the weather, Tuesday’s cloudy cool is
rain by 10 am, but with 95% of the patch
slashed submissively that’s no drama; in
need of a rest & some unneedled space
to feel comfortable in anyway - so we’re
hugely relieved the end’s almost in sight
The cacti mightn’t agree - and there’s a
lot of them yet to betray their presence,
tubers you can’t see lurk beneath a soil
that appears pristine; - it’ll be two years
before we’d sensibly dance a jig in this
dour patch for its freedom of delight
