true words, indeed, on the ad pillar
though not all sudden events
will be like winning the lottery
the steadfast comfrey
seems to have perished, finally
at least there's a hole
in the exact spot where it used to be
looks like the ladder
pierced the soil
so, who knows...
perhaps NOT the sign
of a frost-rotted root
and then my camera also went and packed up (on sunday afternoon)
in fact the shots of the vanished comfrey were the very last
(suddenly it happens)
- of some twenty-four thousand...
