Girl in
the Garden
By Anderson Desir
The
morning mist of Cul-de-Sac
Haloed her long loose flow of hair
As she stood bent
Over her hoe
Weeding steadily
At her father’s vegetable patch.
The sun melting
at her sides
Drip to slip
Its warmth
To the green
Bracelets of grass
Ankeling her bare feet,
Damp mud,
Softened by last night’s dew,
Gloved her fingers
Shoed her toes
Levied patterns on her clothes,
And she looked
Like she was,
A girl in the garden |
