The unattractive back corners of life itself
are open to redemption
broken hearts or back pain
abandoned dogs or stacks of rubble
are waiting for a better offer
They said the aspen would die
that it could not grow
the aspen knew better
perhaps the companion crimson clover
sweetens the environment
borage from last summer draws honeybees
this is but the beginning
Summers to come will show the rest of the experiment
figs will ripen
raspberries and blackberries clambering upon one wall
grapes overhanging another
tent of poles and peas
within my imagining more aspen
a veritable grove
with a hollowed stone bath for the birds
the ones who nest in the trembling leaves
This is the greening city
urban transformation alley by alley
dioramas
oases
butterfly secrets in the gardens
of intention
