Manicure

Trim the hedges, spectacled beauties,
attend your style's herbaceous duties,
edge, inform, curvaceous struts
define a cultivated trust

in your elongated texts,
birds, a farm, where they can nest,
the blades gently refine your shapes
like nature's stencilled magistrates

at home, on-call, your handiwork
gently arrests befouled outbursts,
carving, tracing, sundry glades
rest envisioning each stage

of passing contemplative wonders,
storied sleuths who strive to blunder
through your earthly mazed designs,
the heights to which they cannot climb.

Unspoken.
