酷我-北美枫

[anna]

In our back yard,
there is no tree planted.
We have grown grass and rose,
nothing blocks the horizon but a fence.

It stands there for years,
faded in colors;
we planned to pull it up,
but fear the wind and Forget-Me-Not.

The fence is the barrier outside,
but anytime Forget-Me-Not may be blown in.
When they grow wildly,
the garden is in a mess.

Now and then,
our memory is with the unpredictable wind,
it slips into a locked corner;
clings to the Forget-Me-Not.

If we let the wild seeds be,
No fence can hold up.
So now and then,
we trim both sides.
