"wreck"

i pulled so many awful weeds today. it was fun and it felt good. there is a tight network traveling underground, twisted and tangled and tied in knots. i told my new client to let me know if i take too long in an area because i like to work thoroughly. i like to dig and pull as deeply and as much as possible.
i know i have planted it. i know it is gigantic. and twisted and tangled and tight and knotted and deep and sore. infected possibly. but my longing for you is so huge in the desire to keep the wreckage from growing. green/symbol for growth, and possibly birth. red/the blood the pain the throbbing soreness the..words which you may only have.. , yet compliments, and gives life to, the green as it deepens with chlorophyll.
