Garden Diary 2010
January. I did nothing I can recall. It was a cold month. February. I trimmed almost all of our trees, save the two maple a-west the house. Those trees need trimming.

When I closed my eyes
The sun went behind a cloud,
And it was Friday

I can remember
When I didn’t even know

In the midst
Of a roaring party,
An old coffee cup, broken

As I wonder
At a light bulb —
It bursts in my face
