Sky Father Relents
Sky Father is angry this spring
Across the street, back and forth
Brother squirrel races
To fallen friends, unfortunate
In their travels
My tomato friends patiently
Wait, shelf-bound, at home depot
June 7th...
Finally, a break!
Stakes shived weeks ago
Hear me coming!
Welcoming their heirloom mates
Goliath, Black Krim, and Mortgage Lifters
All settle in, my hands busy
Remembering
Favorite herbs, Thai Basil, Lemon Thyme
And forgotten Sage, guard the
Corners
My bean pole teepee, long a
Staple of my garden
Still waits, for the soak
To settle
