one seed, then another

at times I was more
concerned with her sins,
than I was with mine.

my guilt seemed less important
at the time.

I felt that if I could change
her,
new seasons would unfold.

new trees would grow.
our garden would begin,

one seed at a time,
me at the plow, her on
bended knees with a burlap

sack, dropping into
the ruffled rows, love,
love love.

then we'd wait hand in hand,
for the rain the sun for divine

intervention
to fall from above.
