there was a blight in the field
behind my dad’s house
now you can see across
and it’s colorless
when i think back to
what it was like before
i remember the dark green
in rain, and the wind shaking
it was so tall you
could almost lose yourself
and the bugs grew 10 sizes
bigger than even dad
what i would give to
grow it all back
but it’s not easy like that
things like that aren’t easy
i don’t know where
the bugs went, if they
even existed. hopefully,
blights are just a phase.
