All Those Amber Days Spent Uncurling…

Watch this old rusted rake & hoe makes your garden a new Watch the robin who knew before you, you'd go grey Watch the circles rake makes when sowing cornflowers blue Watch the hoe remove weeds, no one longer resurveys Watch the amber dawn like a lock of your hair uncurling Do you remember when your hair was the bee's wax, honey? Do you remember days & nights you woke knot tangled? How I'd watch you from the shadows brushing, heart all bubbly Do you know how much I loved you eternally, gladdened? How I'd garden back all those amber days spent uncurling.
