(broadcast)

I have decided
to commandeer
the field across
the street
for my own
purpose,
to sew it with
wild flowers
I can pick.
Starting with
the spot in view
from my desk,
just behind the
oak.
Broadcast is
the word for
the planting
I intend,
scattering seeds
as far as I can,
a message beaming
bright and clear –
at least to the
immediate neighbors.
Although it seems
a shame to disrupt
this perfect
green.
