the garden

hot sun relentless
beating down between storm clouds
after the potatoes there's onions
and after that we don't know
we haven't gotten that far
eyes on the ground
and an ear for the rain
ready to run for the trees before we get soaked
but for now
let's enjoy the sunshine
and place our veggies in the soft earth
on this thursday in june
