the fresh mint

the neighbor
before she left to get married
planted
mint
along our adjacent
walk.
between our steps.
it's overgrown
and wild.
no one tends to it.
we let it go,
but each day i come home
i can smell
the sweet essence
of its leaves,
rising gently into
my nose,
reminding me of her, 
and the love
she found.
