I think of Gardens,
Birdhouses,
Going to Church.
Your Gentle Way.

Showing me artichokes behind
the garage; grapes in a vine
up the wall (and)

nodding there, the little
glass of wine on your lap (never spilled)
Did you doze off? Well…

You made soup.

How fair is a garden amid the toils and passions of existence.

Some keep the Sabbath going to Church,
I keep it staying at Home -
With a bobolink for a Chorister,
And an Orchard, for a Dome.

Compared to gardeners, I think it is generally agreed that others understand very little about anything of consequence.

I suppose when it comes right down to it, we garden because it’s an old cold world, and sometimes the best a person can do is to give it children and some green things growing.
