It takes
So little
To make
Me happy:
An hour
Of planting
Cucumbers
Squash
Tomatoes
Is
An
Hour
Filled
With
Gold.
We have all lost
Much
Of what
We thought
Was
Safely
Tucked away:
To
A dragon
Called
Stock Market
Called
Wall Street
Called
The Economy
Called
Despair
&
Wrong choices
Around
The globe.
Still,
To be rich
In this way:
Plentiful
Seeds
Of cucumber
& squash
Lettuce
& peas
To plant;
Warm sun
On my
Cheek,
Is to miss
The anxiety
Of loss-
Its icy
Silver
Claw-
Almost
Entirely.
