today's poem - "What do I get?"

What do I get?

 

if I make a Robert Johnson

with a dirt devil

do I get free weeding

for life, gardens

extraordinaire no matter what

ills befall the stations of my slow

and out of the way life

blooms, buds, pods,  fruit, legumes, aromas

when the future winds

my past tightly

vining and singing

constrictor-like, squeezing

days and nights greenery

under starry magnetism

a Blake print frameless

standing

when no one else

wills a life sentence

spoken by the Earth

and sky explaining

self to myself

a crossroads where

garden paths

meet calling like cranes

on overhead wings
