the clearing

i take a saw
out into the back yard
and start
sawing
the branches of tall bushes.
or are they potential
trees.
maybe they're weeds, 
i don't know.
i should look it up, but
they've outgrown
their welcome,
sagging over the fence.
almost as tall
as the second story window
of my house.
wide and gangly,
but green.
it doesn't take too long
to cut them down
and clear them out
of the yard,
it's strangely satisfying,
but now when i look
out the window
i miss them.
