at play in the garden with sophie

-fruit of my fruit-

scooping handfuls of early earth, surprisingly workable and warm

last year’s leaves

last year’s leftovers

this year’s soil

dust to dust

 -

it pours through our fingers,

hers beneath mine, delight in the falling cascade

mine beneath hers, cupped and receptive

patient

 -

what remnants of me

reside in your seeds little one

what morsels will you carry forth

how does one compost a life?

-

moment by moment

sifting soil through our hands

-
