raking the garden
what's been going on
under dead leaves and snow

May 10: Warmer outside than in

Spring cleaning--

washing the windows

before the wasps settle.

Spring cleaning--

lovers' old letters thrown out

with stacks of paid bills.

April 17: Paul's birthday

Raking last year's leaves

off tender spikes of tulips,

getting my hands dirty.

March 30: Spring cleaning

Sidewalk sweeper

brushing away winter's dirt--

if it were that easy--

April 18: Snail found in the garden after a long winter

Raking the flower beds

I don't have the heart

to toss the lone snail.
