Oh and correct on the cat litter! Can’t have a dirty dirt box!

Made me homesick for a place I have never been. The second and fifth paragaphs just scream “I am a poem, right my form”. I think I have read all your poems you have posted but these two paragraphs… they are the best.

I like the description of everything and could almost smell the cut grass. I would surely delight in the smell of rain too.

In the spring, birds descend on it in droves, for a soft lining for their nests, but it soon grows back again.

Life’s turmoil subsides and one is left with delicate vision. The softness of moss indeed.
