Blackberry Bushes

[While I'm trying new things, here's my second pantoum]

fine was never the destination
don’t roll your eyes
there are things left to be said
when the colors come out in spring, you’ll see

don’t roll your eyes
real stories don’t end
when the colors come out in spring, you’ll see
things with roots bounce back

real stories don’t end
they go deep and spread out
things with roots bounce back
like blackberry bushes

they go deep and spread out
fill the space,
like blackberry bushes
life is frustrating, relentless

fill the space
there are things left to be said:
life is frustrating, relentless
fine was never the destination
