asking someone else to
pull your weeds
takes away the seeing of how shallow those roots are
temporary and unrestrained
taking up space
without asking
how can we do this together? no stopping
or pausing
for even the tiniest of moments
to listen slowly
firmly
willingly
they wrap their arms
around everyone else hoarding
soil water air
from those with deeper roots asking someone else to
pull your weeds
takes away your power to pause
for even the tiniest of moments
and discover
your home in all it’s glorious wildness acknowledging
accepting
not apologizing
for being on your knees
with fingers pulling
instead of pointing
