live and let live

i take
a few minutes out of the day
to rake leaves
in the small
back yard.
critters and birds
start jumping
in the commotion.
i push and pull
the autumn
haul into a pile
in the corner,
where,
i suppose they'll
decompose
i'm all about the earth
these days.
nature and what have you.
live and let
live i think, except
for snakes,
which i take
a hoe to.
