YARD WORK

Yesterday, I trimmed the bushes
in my front yard. They’d grown
 
gangly, odd angled,
and yes, a bit forlorn.
 
Today, I look out the window,
pleased by their newfound
 
shapeliness, this green easy
growth, the way their
leafiness greets
 
the morning sun and I
thank myself
for doing so.
 
Now, I type these few words
onto a blank reflecting screen,
 
wondering back and forth,
tomorrow, who knows,
 
(do you?)
 
what might
or not,
 
transpire?
