A walk by the edge of the wood

at the edge of the field
the brink of the wood
grass yields to rougher plants
plants of the brush, of the bramble
before those alive in the wood
goldenrod, blackberry,
woody, tough, hardy members
living at the edge, the boundary
the dividing line
between grass and tree
