Square Foot of Ground

late leaves mottled with age

 

stones blotched with weather

     patched with moss

 

a stray flake of clear glass

 

grassblades in a thin cluster

     of exhausted growth

 

one pinecone nestled

      in the dimple of a rock

 

sunlight gracing indifferent pebbles

 

innumerable pine-needles

       lifeless and dun
