GARDEN

stretched out on a garden chair

beautiful

theres flowers

beautiful

its real
i like it

nature talks quiet and mostly nods
and
a
million
small
animals
offer no judgement

stretch out here in the late PM
book on my lap
i'm tied in a towel from an
Epsom salt bath

low sun
shows up
all the old spiders webs
waving and sagging across
the
60 year old orange brick
of
the
house

i hear her inside
and know she'll come to the back step soon
smiling
and
pretty

so i sit with the nodding nature and the animals - mostly quiet
sipping
luke-warm 
coffee
waiting
for pretty

and
a
smile
