may your summer morning be bright
as purple salvia, flashier than eggplant
dangling from vine, lush & lethargic
may your garden flowers bloom
with spike of ginger & tantrum of cumin
as bees hum a hot peppery buzz
<an alarm goes off>
i wake up
and there is a down-
pour,
my garden boots are
muddy greasy
