the dust bowl

you fall in love
with a woman who
doesn't love you.
but you press on
despite knowing
the end results.
you plant seeds,
you water the sprouts,
you dig out the weeds
and put a small
fence up to keep
the rabbits out.
but in the end
there is no harvest.
there is only dust
and dirt and starting
again.

this happened to me, too. but the rabbits couldn't be kept out no matter what i did - he kept opening the garden gate and letting them in. remember?
