I MUST REPORT FAILURE (2023)
Vespers by Louise Glück (extract)
....
I must report
failure in my assignment, principally
regarding the tomato plants.
I think I should not be encouraged to grow
tomatoes. Or, if I am, you should withhold
the heavy rains
....
I watched the first shoots
like wings tearing the soil, and it was my heart
broken by the blight, the black spot so quickly
multiplying in the rows.
....
I am responsible
for these vines.
