Garden Breathe

Garden Breathe

Planted among the greens

A lady in a sleeveless dress of purple swirls

Tugs at stubborn weeds

She reaches for the brown of dirt

To let the garden breathe.

Minimal Residual Disease

Minimal Residual Disease

A metaphor of life

Do the least harm

As you pass

Age follows our mark

Gentle touches

Let the earth be lined

With a wrinkle of us

Passing through

Moments of time

Sustenance

Sustenance

Spotted bananas

Shriveled olives

A lone tomatillo

Empty nutmeg shells

Tell of past indulgences

Meals consumed

Shiny drainboard

Ground coffee

Tomatoes ripening

A clean stove

Tell of indulgences to come

Meals to nourish

Summer slips by

As green takes over

A crowded encroachment

Lush explosion

Excess trimmed

A path revealed

Mystery discovered

Farmer

I'm an urban farmer

Dirt lines surround my cuticles.

Callouses lie under my ring finger

Weeding and mowing

Connect me to abundance

I dance without worry

An urban farmer

Intentions

Intentions

Tow move with purpose

Trust, aware of surrounding

Melded rhythms

A wrong beat

Dissolves conviction

Time to retreat

Change tempo

Chaotic Nature

Chaotic Nature

Behind the seeds of growth

Rain falls

Snow encases

Flowers bloom

A tree rises to meet

The sky

And the sun and moon

Take turns

As the earth revolves

~Abbe

Letters; a bridge over centuries

To meet our eyes
