For The Memory

Your tops on the line hanging down
Swaying gently in the coolness of breeze
The evening comes in its violet gown
Darkening the lawn and the leaves 
You turned on the light, it reflects outside
The pot that stands close to the house
Is illuminated most brightly tonight
I see all its rims and the flowers
Are stretching up high, maybe sensing the moon
If it can look out of the cloud
The air spreads magical smells in the bloom
Cicadas are chirping aloud
I think at the end of an August it was,
Last year, when you opened the door
And photoed your garden for me, just because
I asked you the same day, before.
