wrist-deep in dirt
for something less particular
satisfaction more tasty
than butter lettuce wilting
kale curling towards sun
cabbage grubs chew chew chewing
cabbage butterflies pupating
try a decoy moth mobile
the bean vine sprints 10cm a day
are carrots after carrots okay?
a tender snap and crunch in sunset hues
greens too fast for a single mouth
a campaign to run against the grubs
time yet to prevent the brassica massacre
only carrots have orange skin here
the parsley grove finally enough
peas and beans go vine to mouth
marigolds flame the gloaming
moth mobiles flutter dusk
possums pace the wire
somewhere between intention and chance
pulling a weed is in hand
planting a seed is out of hand
dirt under fingernails holds fast
