RECLAMATION AND EXALTATION
The air is cool;
sun sits low behind the trees.
My tea is hot;
one last sip before I start.
The garden is large;
weeds are plentiful and vigorous.
* * *
I turn my head slowly;
two hummingbirds argue over coneflowers.
I sit back on my heels;
chickadees and bees ignore me.
I stand and stretch;
the air is hot, the tea is cold, the garden is weeded.
