Mulch, the Good Shepherd
rounding up trunks and coralling the unwanted
weeds bringing them to their knee
and, not only that, it retains moistness less necessary than
weed control in a damp climate. A wet blanket.

I indulge the mulch as I lessen the lawn
For mulch becomes compost
and compost becomes food for the plants
The plants become food for my body
and my soul
