her new bed of flowers

as she kneels
in her garden, planting seed,
planting flowers
in the black soil,
the sun
pushes up against
her winter skin.
she blushes with
heat
on this hot spring day
and wipes her brow.
but she is
bent to the task
or raising
new love, new endeavors
before her mother
comes to stay.
