Today in the garden
the lilacs and the blackberry
that were running
away through the grass
were plucked and redirected.
Today in the garden
astrantia and rue
and sea holly found
their places by the tadpoles.
Today in the garden
the pile of debris rose
higher than the seats around the table
and the fresh-turned earth
welcomed the promise of wonderful things.
Today the garden
grew.
