afternoon gardening
the dirt under my nails
relieves work stress

garden work-
chatting with the veggies
as I pull the weeds

weekend-
catching up the last nine years
with the girlfriends

last evening-
not enough energy
to walk up to bed

year's first fireflies
escort to to the curb
on weekly trash run

fourth day of heat
waiting till amost dusk
to tend the garden

brutal weekend-
bought stuff to organize
it's too hot to start
