stayed love, entrenched love
common love grown in the
backyard with the cherry
tomatoes and mushrooms
and when the sun asks
are you living fully
and totally as your seed
portended
is this garden nourishing
a food chain of banquets
and expressions that can flower
and pollinate whoever’s breath passes by
what will you say…
does the garden wall
need moving
or do you wish to uproot it all?
