almost in the dark

almost in the dark
the man cleans out all the weeds at the curb

Tomorrow I'll walk by, remembering how he stooped
and tugged & pulled the plants - some weeds -
can't be pulled
weeds can be used for something
like every plant, every tree, everything
(even you and me)

What is their use, his tugging?
pulling him as he pulls them

his handsslap together to get rid of
the grit
slap slap slap slap
slaaaap
grit falls as he walks away

towards the beach
the beach tugs him into the moving
pile he is

and then roars
roars roars
roars
rooooaaars
