is yard trimming day
I and my garden are one
indivisible overgrown mess
but this morning I tried to imagine
our relationship after my
consignment to the compost heap
would it go on with the same arguments
between chrysanthemums and hollyhocks
or settle down with an occasional tomato
a friend has weeds
growing in his liver
that will overthrow his plot
I bring him a sprig
of orange blossoms
to inhale as he goes out
