you dig them back up.
“No,” leads to a tantrum
on top of where the summer squash will grow.
Since your father knows how much
of who we are gets planted early;
he wraps explanations
around your trembling body.
In the background, I attack weeds
suffocating roses,
the way I suspect my mother would have
under similar circumstances.
