BENTGRASS

hollow             
grass   
succumbs         

under 
child’s             
toes

runner’s           
pounds
father’s           

pivot
become            
fiber

I weave           
for you 
to hold             

my mourning 
thin tears          
to embrace  

dew-filled         
abetting   
bending       

my blades    
beneath
you
