…actually, why not?
I am growing my garden
Tomatoes, potatoes
Carrots and peas
Pumpkins and squash
An orange tree
Lemons and roses
Flowers for bees
And apples in the orchard
I am growing my gardenÂ
Tending and touching
Digging and cutting
Laying out straw
Hoping the slugs don’t eat it all
I am growing my garden
Now the world broke apart
and is ready to fall.

crickets chirping
another kind of silence
love-
leeway is a tricky thing
how much exactly is needed?
all this outside
reflecting off the green
caterwauling
confusing garfieldinfused
day-
dreams are so damn tricky.
reach for the stars
they say, and mean
“not too far”
because events so big
shift horizons
and suck you in
tonight, tonight
so bright
tonight, tonight
you better take care
of that pumpkin patch
before fairy god-
vraaaaaoooooooooooom!
mother******!!
it’s past midnight!!
ah,
these are the times.
