easily as the shovel
blade ran through it
tiny roots were already
very impatient in the
early April morning
green necks of allium
both garlic and onion
were vibrant in the sun
spinach leaves from
last Fall's planting
showed resilience
lines were drawn in
the turned wet earth
for the eager tiny roots
while one line filled
fully with onions the
garlic filled only half
bones of former trunks
of castor beans filled
the trellis for the vines
squirrels chased crows
from the bird bath but
nothing was achieved
a lonely dragonfly flew
past as a reminder of
a friend of a former time
the early green planting
was watered in for the
wet earth to wait for God
