For Jessica Perini, inviting her to the Garden
You’re present
in my yarden—
in the Egyptian-walking-garlic
raised beds;
in the overblown bug-heaven
buddleia.

Tu me manques ici
where you can never
be; but we’re twined in plants,
in the random
stabs of cuttings, in
never missing
that moment to plant
a seed that may unfurl
in wild, fruitful ways.
In the teddy-bear sunflower,
in bee-bound borage,
in Coriandrum gargantuum.

Love this Catherin, the connection between human and garden
ReplyDeleteThank you Megwyn! My dear friend is agoraphobic so she can't visit my garden in person, but we're constantly swapping cuttings, seeds etc
